Ciara and Russell Wilson sell lakefront Washington estate for $31M: See inside the 11,100-square-foot home
They’re about to level up.
Ciara and Russell Wilson are reportedly making a massive profit off the sale of their Washington estate.
A source familiar with the real estate deal told the Wall Street Journal Wednesday that the NFL quarterback and “Goodies” singer sold their 11,100-square-foot home for $21.25 million and its adjacent lot for almost an additional $10 million, totaling $31 million for the entire estate.
In 2015, Wilson reportedly paid just $6.7 million for the six-bedroom house and an additional $6.7 million for the lot next door four years later, meaning he stands to make $17.6 million from the latest sale.
Per the Wall Street Journal’s source, the home is under contract and scheduled to close sometime in May.
Wilson, 35, was a resident of Washington because he played for the Seattle Seahawks for 10 seasons. However, he was traded in 2022 to the Denver Broncos in a massive deal worth more than $242 million.
The quarterback was then recently cut from the Mile High City team and was signed to a one-year deal with the Pittsburg Steelers in March. He will receive $1.21 million from the East Coast team while the Broncos pay the remainder of his $39 million salary.
Amid all of the tumultuousness of Wilson’s career, he and Ciara have been trying to rid themselves of the Washington property and a separate $25 million home in Denver.
In February, BusinessDen reported that the famous couple were accepting offers, and providing tours to prospective buyers for their $25 million mansion in Cherry Hills Village.
Per the Denver Post, he sold that property for $21.5 million, and actually took a loss that time, as he had paid $3.5 million more for it in 2022.
However, Wilson was able to score more with his Washington estate following several renovations that were reportedly made to the home, which also includes a gym, home theater, yoga and dance studio.
The NFL star also reportedly put a sports court on the lot, which sits on about 1.06 acres on Lake Washington.
It’s unclear whether Wilson and Ciara plan to buy a home in Pittsburgh, where his home team is based.
The couple, who wed in 2016, doesn’t just have themselves to think about. They share three kids, with their youngest, a baby girl named Amora Princess Wilson, being born just last December.

Astros Lose Third Game in Seattle in Extras, 2-1
News Flash:
You probably need to score more than one or two runs a game if you want to compete for first place.
The pitching did its job again. Justin Verlander completed seven innings, allowing only one run and three hits with nine strikeouts. The only run was a fifth-inning home run by Dominic Canzone.
The blast took away the short-lived Astros lead after the Astros scored a run in the fourth with a string of singles culminating in Jake Meyers’ RBI.
The bullpen held until the tenth. Needless to say, the Astros failed to score the ghost-runner in the tenth, and the Mariners didn’t, leading to their third straight win over the Astros in their homestand and putting the Mariners 5.5 games ahead of the Stros.
In this series, the Astros are averaging six hits per game. When the hitting was good earlier this year, the pitching was horrible. Now that the pitching is excellent, the Astros are Mendoza line-hitters.

Harrell also introduced former King County Sheriff Sue Rahr as the interim chief of police.
A source told FOX 13 that Diaz cleaned out his office Tuesday night. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell has reassigned him to special projects.
Keep reading for a transcript of Diaz’s remarks:
“Good afternoon everybody. When I took on the role as chief of police over four years ago, I knew to come with many challenges. The city was at a peak of a racial reckoning, with protests and riots daily. There were calls to reimagine policing, a consent decree that had to be reset, a push to defund the police, violent crime on the rise, a culture that required change. And along with my command staff, I dove in to find solutions. In four years. We got back on track with a consent decree I created before the badge a nationally recognized program. I implemented a system to assess bias policing and revamped our early intervention system. And I invested in offshore wellness. Implemented an extensive plan for race and social justice. We reinvented crowd management and we have nearly eliminated serious use of forces via crime is down. Officer complaints are down significantly, and we’re taking more guns off the street than ever before. We’ve recovered a number of drugs and we’ve saved countless lives. We did this all with the help of creating a third public safety department as well. I’ve accomplished so much in the four years as chief, but there’s more work to be done. I pass that challenge along to my predecessor, and I will continue to support the city as I transition to this new role. I want to thank the men and women of the Seattle Police departments for their hard work. The community that has supported us through every challenge. Thank you.”
