SEATTLE — The "Emerald City" turned a vibrant shade of action green today as an estimated one million fans descended upon downtown for the Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl LX Championship Parade.
Just three days after defeating the New England Patriots 29–13 at Levi’s Stadium, the Seahawks returned home to a city transformed into a massive street party. Fans began camping out along 4th Avenue as early as 4:00 a.m., braving the crisp February air to catch a glimpse of the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
A Historic Route Through Downtown
The celebration kicked off at 10:00 a.m. with a packed trophy ceremony at Lumen Field. Head coach Mike Macdonald, who secured a championship in just his second season, thanked the "12s" for their unwavering support.
The parade procession officially began at 11:30 a.m. at 4th Avenue and Washington Street. Dozens of vehicles, including the iconic Seafair Pirates duck boats, carried players, coaches, and staff through a two-mile corridor of cheering fans. The route concluded at 4th Avenue and Cedar Street, near the base of the Space Needle.
Top Moments from the Celebration
The "Dark Side" Defense: Pro Bowler Uchenna Nwosu led the crowd in a thunderous "Sea-Haws" chant from the top of a double-decker bus.
Jason Myers’ Record: Fans held up signs shaped like uprights to honor kicker Jason Myers, who set a Super Bowl record with five field goals during the title game.
Logistics and Impact
City officials noted that this was likely the largest gathering in Seattle’s history, surpassing the turnout for the 2014 championship. Sound Transit reported record-breaking ridership as fans utilized Link light rail to avoid gridlocked downtown streets.
For those who missed the live event, full video highlights and player interviews are available via Seahawks.com and KING 5 News.
