The King County Royals were a team of the American Basketball Association based in King County, Washington (which the cities of Seattle and Bellevue are part of) and owned by John Dominguez, who also owns the Bellingham Slam.
The team finished the 2006-2007 ABA season with a 6-14 record and did not qualify for the playoffs. The team suspended operations in the summer of 2007 when the Bellingham Slam announced they were leaving the ABA and joining the International Basketball League.
Famous quotes containing the words king and/or county:
“What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower?
And all alone comes riding there
The King that could make his people stare,
Because he had feathers instead of hair.
A slow low note and an iron bell.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I know this well, that if one thousand, if one hundred, if ten men whom I could name,—if ten honest men only,—ay, if one HONEST man, in this State of Massachusetts, ceasing to hold slaves, were actually to withdraw from this copartnership, and be locked up in the county jail therefor, it would be the abolition of slavery in America. For it matters not how small the beginning may seem to be: what is once well done is done forever.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
