The $900 million-plus reconstruction of Seattle Center’s Key Arena is becoming more noticeable to businesses north of downtown and the Queen Anne Hill neighborhood. The project is slated to be underway for two years in preparation for the opening of the 2021 National Hockey League season.

Meanwhile, excavation and related aspects of construction are likely to be distractions for residents, businesses and motorists alike.
