RESOLUTION
Congratulating the Seattle Storm for winning the 2004 Women's National
Basketball Association Championship.
Whereas on October 12, 2004, at Key Arena in Seattle, Washington, the Seattle
Storm defeated the Connecticut Sun 74 to 60 in the third game of the
Women's National Basketball Association Finals;
Whereas the Storm's championship victory was the first for a major professional
sports team in Seattle since the Seattle Supersonics' 1979 National
Basketball Association Championship, a 25-year drought;
Whereas Storm Coach Anne Donovan became the first female coach to guide her team
to a Women's National Basketball Association title;
Whereas the Storm finished the 2004 season with a 20-14 record in the regular
season and a 6-2 record in the Women's National Basketball Association
Playoffs, a remarkable improvement from their 6-26 record during their
inaugural season in 2000;
Whereas several thousand people crowded Seattle's Westlake Center to celebrate
the victory on Friday, October 15, 2004;
Whereas Key Arena sold 17,702 tickets for each of the Storm's two home games
during the Women's National Basketball Association Finals, both
sellouts; and
Whereas the entire State of Washington is proud of the accomplishments of the
entire Storm organization and the dedication of the Storm fans, whom
Coach Donovan called ``the absolute best in the world'' throughout the
2004 season: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) congratulates the Seattle Storm for their remarkable
season and for winning the 2004 Women's National Basketball
Association Championship; and
(2) directs the Clerk of the House to transmit an enrolled
copy of this resolution to the owner of the Seattle Storm and
