Four Seattle Seahawks, a South Sound soccer star, an Olympic gold medalist, a University of Washington running back and a basketball all-star comprise the State of Washington Sports Hall of Fame class of 2017.
The class is headlined by former Seahawks star running back Curt Warner and former coaches Mike Holmgren and Dennis Erickson, although Erickson’s greatest success came as a college coach. Former Seahawks vice president Gary Wright, now with the Sounders, will also be inducted.
Former Sounders goalie and North Thurston High graduate Kasey Keller, 1984 Olympic skiing gold medalist Debbie Armstrong, former Huskies running back Joe Steele and former American Basketball Association star Byron Beck round out the class.
