New description:

 The mirror in Seattle, USA operated by PNNL has not been updated for
 almost a year. At first no administrative contact was reachable, but later
 it was confirmed the server in question was decommissioned (although still
 reachable?).

 While missing distfiles or packages will be skipped, using the ports tree
 from this mirror over rsync is a problem. However, also for distfiles and
 packages, this mirror will not help users if it is not updated as it leads
 to unnecessary download delays. We should therefore remove it from our
 mirror rotation.

 * [x] Remove mirror from [wiki:Mirrors wiki page]
 * [x] Remove mirror from [https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/blob/master/_resources/port1.0/fetch/mirror_sites.tcl
 mirror_sites.tcl]
 * [x] Remove mirror from [https://github.com/macports/macports-
 ports/blob/master/_resources/port1.0/fetch/archive_sites.tcl
 archive_sites.tcl]
 * [ ] Remove DNS domain names for sea.us.*.macports.org
