The Seattle Seahawks are currently owned by the Paul G. Allen Trust, managed by Jody Allen, Paul Allen's sister. Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, owned the team from 1997 until his death in 2018. After his passing, ownership transferred to the trust with Jody Allen as the executor and sole trustee managing the assets. According to Paul Allen's will, the team is to be sold eventually, but as of now, the team has not been put up for sale and remains under the trust's control. There are indications that the sale may not occur before 2025, and among the potential future buyers speculated are wealthy individuals such as Jeff Bezos. However, no sale has yet taken place, and Jody Allen continues to represent the Seahawks in the NFL governance.
