What it does
This is a ceremonial House resolution congratulating the Seattle Sounders FC soccer team for winning all five major North American soccer trophies—the first MLS team ever to do so. It names the players, coaches, and ownership, celebrates the 69,314 fans at the championship match, and acknowledges the team's community work through the RAVE Foundation.
Why we flagged it

Who it affects
This is a non-binding ceremonial resolution with no fiscal or regulatory impact. It celebrates a civic achievement and acknowledges community investment in youth soccer equity, which has modest positive social value.
