By Besa Gordon - It’s that time again! The Seattle Sports Commission’s Sports Star of the Year Awards is just around the corner, and this year hits different—it’s the 90th anniversary!

As the red carpet host for Back2Besa, I’ve had the chance to chop it up with legends like Lenny Wilkins, Michael Penix Jr., K.J. Wright, Bookie Gates, and Beth Knox (the CEO of the Seattle Sports Commission). This event is THE biggest night in Washington sports.

Pro tips:

1️⃣ Show up early to check out the memorabilia room—it’s packed with historic gems.
2️⃣ Don’t skip the mixer for all the networking vibes.
3️⃣ Catch me on the red carpet chatting with your favorite sports stars!
4️⃣ Enjoy the awards show, where the top names in sports get their flowers.

This year, Marshawn Lynch will receive the Paul G. Allen Humanitarian Award presented by Microsoft.
