Seattle Seahawks Company Description
The Northwest is a prime nesting spot for this football team. The Seattle Seahawks joined the National Football League as an expansion team in 1976 and made its first trip to the Super Bowl at the end of the 2005 season (losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers). Seattle fans were treated to mostly disappointing seasons before former Green Bay Packers coach Mike Holmgren led the club to its first division title in 12 years in 1999. Founded by department store magnate Lloyd Nordstrom, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has owned the Seahawks franchise since 1997.
