Hope Solo

Hope Solo, a former soccer player, is another Washington state native to make this list. Between 2000 and 2016, the stunner was the goalkeeper for the U.S. women’s national soccer team, in which she became a World Cup champion and a two-time Olympic gold medalist. Considering she’s considered one of the world’s top female goalkeepers, we believe it’s safe to say that Solo is a name that’s never going to be forgotten. Solo then participated in Dancing With the Stars following her impressive feat at the 2011 World Cup and, of course, posed for numerous magazines.

Gina Carano

We might, in all honesty, be in love with Gina Carano. We mean, look at her! In any case, although it was not long before she switched to mixed martial arts, Carano began her career in the sport of Muay Thai, where she became the face of women’s MMA. Carano decided to keep busy with acting and modeling work after she retired from competition. Carano was featured in ESPN: The Magazine and Maxim in fifth place on a list of the ‘Top 10 Influential Women’ of 2008.
