The Seattle Seahawks may have been bounced from the NFL playoffs early, and while their recent history in the postseason isn’t stellar, there is still plenty for Seattle fans to be excited about when it comes to all their teams. Right now the Emerald City might be in the midst of a true sports renaissance.
For the first time in history, the Seattle Seahawks and Mariners qualified for the postseason in the same year. Earlier in the summer, Seattle’s WNBA team the Storm made yet another routine trip to the playoffs. While the Sounders of the MLS did not make their 14th consecutive appearance, Seattle may still send a fourth team to the the postseason.
In the world of hockey, the Seattle Kraken are among the best teams in the NHL. As it stands, they hold a narrow lead for first place in the Pacific Division over the Las Vegas Golden Knights. Should the Kraken finish strong, they would be the fourth professional Seattle team to qualify for the playoffs this season.
If that’s the case, it will be the most professional teams the City of Seattle has sent to each sport’s respective postseasons since 2018. That year, the Seahawks, Sounders, and Storm all made the playoffs, along with the Seawolves of Major League Rugby and the OL Reign of the National Women’s Soccer League – the last year they were in Seattle.
