Similar situation to Detroit with the Palace being built out in Auburn Hills. The big difference is that Seattle actually has a large downtown area, whereas Detroit is fairly spread out with a number of business districts.

So I guess the question is, would those people who live in Bellevue prefer to go to games from their offices and then head home, or have a short trip after the game? Weekend games are obviously a different story, but those games also typically don't have the same issues with traffic etc. Personally I much prefer the central arena as it's much easier to make going to a game an event with dinner and drinks etc.
