Souvenir Seattle Storm basketball from inaugural game, June 1, 2000
The Seattle Storm is a Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) team founded by Ginger Ackerley and her husband Barry in 2000. The inaugural season was disappointing starting with a 47-77 loss to the Houston Comets and ending with a 6-26 record finish. But the team's momentum picked up led by high-quality players like Sue Bird, Swin Cash, Lauren Jackson, and Breanna Stewart. The Storm have gone on to win four WNBA Champions in 2004, 2010, 2018, and 2020.
