The estate of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has begun the process of selling the Portland Trail Blazers, fulfilling his directive to direct proceeds to philanthropy. The Seattle Seahawks and Sounders are not part of the sale.

The NBA's Portland Trail Blazers and the NFL's Seattle Seahawks are linked through common ownership by the estate of Paul Allen.

After Paul Allen's passing in 2018, one of his final wishes was to have his possessions - including the Seahawks and Blazers - to be sold off.
