McClernon, 26, has appeared in 20 matches (15 starts) since joining the club in 2022.
“Phoebe’s energy and competitiveness are standard-setting in our club. We are happy to have her extend her stay in Seattle,” general manager Lesle Gallimore said in a news release. “Phoebe is one of the premier defenders in the NWSL; her pace, grit, determination and contributions in the attack are what make her impactful for us.”
