The Seattle Seahawks are currently owned by the estate of Paul Allen. After Paul Allen's passing in 2018, his sister Jody Allen has acted as the executor of his estate and sole trustee of his assets, effectively managing the Seahawks. The team is not for sale at the moment, but there is a provision in the trust to eventually sell the team with no fixed timeline for the sale. A notable factor is that any sale before May 2025 would incur a 10% payment to the state of Washington due to a stadium financing agreement, which has influenced the timing considerations for a sale. Jody Allen represents the Seahawks at the NFL's board of governors but does not personally own the team; the team belongs to Paul Allen's estate, managed through a trust until its eventual sale.
