SEQUIM — The Seattle Storm may not be the most popular professional sports franchise in Puget Sound.
But after winning two WNBA titles in its first 10 years, including one this past summer, it’s easily the most successful.
The Storm brought those championship trophies to the Sequim Boys & Girls Club on Thursday as part of its Seattle Storm Trophy Tour.
The second in a 10-stop tour around the state, the event allowed dozens of Sequim children to get up close and personal with some WNBA hardware, if not the actual players.
With most of the team still playing overseas in European professional leagues, the only Sue Birds, Lauren Jacksons or Camille Littles on hand were those of the life-size cardboard cutout variety.
Still, participants were able to compete in a dribble, pass and shoot skills competition in four separate age groups for boys and girls.
Free tickets to Seattle’s opening day game against the Phoenix Mercury on June 4 were also given away, as well as other prizes.
Individual winners of the skills contest were invited to the Storm’s opening day game.
There, they will compete against winners from the nine other tour stops for an Xbox 360 and an Xbox Kinect.
