Governor signs bill creating license plates for Seattle Seahawks/Sounders FC fans

Legislators, youth and organization representatives crowd behind Gov. Jay Inslee at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton on May 17 as the governor signed legislation creating specialty license plates for the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders F.C. as seen in approxmation below. Although the final design still needs official approval from three state agencies, these should match closely to what you will see on vehicles starting in January, 2014 when the plates go on sale. Proceeds from the plate sale will primarily benefit two non-profit organizations that serve Washington youth. Lt. Gov. Owen asked for the legislation by executive request, and it was co-sponsored by state senators Tracey Eide and Curtis King. You can get answers to questions about the plates via the Seahawks and Sounders online and see the full ceremony on TVW below. (Photos courtesy Legislative Photography Services).
