## Resource

Paul Allen’s estate still holds a quarter stake in the Sounders FC — a surprising holdout after his NFL-backed Seahawks were sold for a record $9.6 billion. While the Seahawks move to new ownership, the Sounders’ share remains untouched, reportedly the last piece of Allen’s posthumous plan to liquidate his sports assets for charity. Though the team’s value sits at $915 million and it’s thriving with multiple titles and a rabid fanbase, the future looks even bigger: a $70 million training complex and talks of a soccer-specific stadium signal Seattle’s commitment to growing the game — all while the estate quietly holds onto its legacy.
