Seattle Times Pictures of the Year 2010

Sept. 18: Seattle Storm fans reach out to touch the WNBA championship trophy offered to them by Celeste Keaton, one of the Storm's owners. Keaton is reflected in the trophy. The Storm captured the team's second WNBA title on Sept. 17, a fitting cap to a thrilling season. This was a rough year to be a sports fan in Seattle. The lone bright spot was the Seattle Storm. There was such a buzz around the team almost from the beginning of the season, which made them fun to be around. When the team returned to Seattle from Atlanta after the title game, fans packed the airport eager to be a part of that history, and ownership rewarded them by sharing the trophy. There was a genuine sense of pride in this team's accomplishments that seemingly all of Seattle reveled in. - Dean Rutz
