Meet The Storm's New Owners

The PI has an article about the four women who came together to buy the Storm:

Anne Levinson is a political dynamo, having served as a judge, chairwoman of the Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission and deputy mayor of Seattle.

She's also a Seattle Storm season-ticket holder, and by the end of February, Levinson and three well-heeled friends will own the team they spend summers rooting for.

Levinson, Lisa Brummel, Ginny Gilder and Dawn Trudeau are in the process of buying the Storm from Clayton Bennett for $10 million, ensuring that the Women's National Basketball Association franchise remains here even if Bennett gets his wish and moves the Sonics to Oklahoma City.

Lisa Brummel is our Senior VP of Human Resources here at Microsoft. I'd seen Lisa at a few games, but had no idea she was that big of a fan. Crazy-cool!
