Seattle Storm players to raise flag over Space Needle this Friday

After winning 11 games in the finals and taking home the title of 2020 WNBA Champions, Seattle Storm will celebrate by raising their team’s flag on top of the Space Needle.

The celebration will mark the team’s fourth championship win after taking home the title in 2004, 2010, 2018, and 2020.

The flag will be raised at 9 am by two-time Finals MVP Breanna Stewart, Jewell Loyd, Mercedes Russell, and assistant coach Ryan Webb.

Earlier this week, the entire city lit up in yellow and green to cheer on the team as they played against the Las Vegas Aces in the finals.
