About Golden State Valkyries
The Golden State Valkyries are the WNBA's San Francisco Bay Area club, the first expansion team since the Atlanta Dream in 2008, announced October 5 2023 with a reported $50 million expansion fee. Wikipedia lists owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber, president Jess Smith (hired January 30 2024), general manager Ohemaa Nyanin (May 7 2024), and head coach Natalie Nakase (October 10 2024). Home games are at Chase Center in San Francisco; the practice facility is in Oakland. The name and logos landed May 14 2024, which is the week the stored series first leaves zero (50 on May 18 2024).
The 2025 inaugural season finished 23-21, sold out all 22 home dates (397,408 total, 18,064 average), and became the first expansion club to reach the WNBA playoffs, then lost 0-2 to Minnesota. Nakase won Coach of the Year. The 2026 club entered an August 21 game at Chicago at 25-10 (10-7 West) per Associated Press, then lost 73-70; ESPN's box for August 12 shows a 91-71 Valkyries win at home, Tiffany Hayes with 22.

What the time series shows
The 261-week Google Search series for golden state valkyries is a WNBA-season square wave: zeros through May 2024, a 50 print the week the name dropped, then 2 to 6 for most of the 2024 offseason, a 48 spike the week of December 7 2024 around expansion draft, and a 2025 debut climb that peaked at 96 on September 6 2025 before collapsing to 9 on September 27. 2026 opened the same way. May 23 sat at 50, June 6 at 93, July 18 at 100, July 25 at 48, then 47, 99, 73, and 98.
Four labels are derived from that series. growth_label is exploding because 30-day change is +104.17%. speed_label is exponential because the latest 30-day absolute move (98 minus 48 equals 50) is more than twice the prior 30-day move (48 minus 71 equals 23 in absolute terms). seasonality_label is high on the May-through-September on-season block. volatility_label is average; last-52 week-over-week sample standard deviation is 54.56%. The 2-point gap under the July peak is not a fade. Offseason floors near 2 still have to be written in when October arrives.
