Bill proposes Sounders, Seahawks license plates
SEATTLE (AP) - There could be a license plate for the 12th Man soon.
Lawmakers have introduced a bill creating a specialty plate for the Seahawks and the Sounders. The plates would cost $40 with a $30 renewal fee thereafter.
The bill says proceeds of the plate's purchase will benefit three non-profit organizations after the teams are reimbursed for any costs incurred in creating the specialty plate.
The bill is being sponsored by the Democrat and Republican chairs of the senate's transportation committee at the behest of Lt. Gov. Brad Owen. The soccer club and the football team recently approached Owen with the idea.
The Lieutenant Governor's office said Friday the license plates would be available starting in January 2014 if the bill passes.
Two of the organizations - InvestED and Washington State Mentors - focus on helping students with school supplies and mentoring. The third, the Association of Washington Generals, fosters tourism and trade.

Great organizations to whom the income should be honored ....... Â until the politicians get through writing the authorizing bill. Then these organizations by their inclusion with other 'organizations' will likely be besmirched by their company. Â (What's in it for me?)Â
GO SEAHAWKS THIS SEASON WILL BE AWESOME SEASON FOR THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKSÂ
Cool!!!!!! Will benefit three non-profit organizations. Lets make sure the people we elect do their job, and use these funds properly.
How about a Sonics one next! :)
It's about the the Hawks get their own license. The Mariners have had one for years!

Pardon my yawning, but what meaningful legislative action is on the agenda?Â
 @George Requests for new specialty license plates are reviewed by the Department of Licensing and approved by the legislature. They are just following procedure.

 @bobalouie Yes, because since the news reported on this one small fraction of what is on the table then all hope is lost. Have a little fun. Go Hawks!
I'm in
It's $40 extra + fees first time, then $30 additional every year. Article needs to be fixed.Â
Sweet! I'd definitely get one, GO HAWKS!
