What an exciting time to move to Seattle! The Seahawks won the Super Bowl!
It was really fun getting into the games and being a part of all the fan fair. I never really liked watching sports at all, but I also never knew what it was like to live in a city that had a football team and die hard fans.
Here’s just one example of how decorated the city has been in the last few weeks. This is a luxury high-rise in the middle of construction. The lights on certain floor were tuned on to make a giant number 12!
A few fun facts for those of you who don’t know much about the Seahawks 12th Man:
- The fans at home games are so loud that the visiting team often have false starts because they can’t communicate with one another.
- The fans have generated 2 registered earthquakes from cheering. Both instances occurred when the Seahawks played against the New Orleans Saints.
- Boeing, who is headquartered in Seattle, flew their customized Seahawks plane in a giant number 12 flight pattern to show support for the team in the Super Bowl.
It’s been amazing to watch the entire city unite as one 12th Man!
