Across the Pacific Northwest we are honoring and remembering Paul Allen for what he created as owner of the Seahawks.
Keeping the team in Seattle by saving the team from moving to Southern California in 1996. Hiring the two best coaches in franchise history. Stewarding the culture that created consecutive Super Bowls, in February 2014 and ‘15. Winning the region’s only NFL championship.
“He was able to pass along the spirit that now we know, of wanting to go for it and kind of no-holes-barred,” said Pete Carroll, whom Allen sent his chief executive Tod Leiweke to Los Angeles in January 2010 to become the Seahawks’ eventual Super Bowl-winning coach.
