Seattle Storm unveil new Interbay practice facility, alternative uniforms

Alisha Valavanis walked around as the new performance center for the Seattle Storm was unveiled on Thursday filled mostly with joy and a little sadness. The joy for the CEO of the Storm — who has been with the team for nearly a decade — came from helping bring to completion the second standalone practice facility dedicated to a WNBA team following the Las Vegas Aces last year. The twinge of sadness for Valavanis was personal. “My dad was in that very beginning dream part and then he saw the whole project through with us,” Valavanis said.
