What happens next in parade planning
Parade decisions after a championship win involve coordination between the Seahawks organization, the City of Seattle, law enforcement, transit agencies and other public safety partners.
Organizers must consider crowd size projections, parade routes, security staffing, traffic management and transit access before releasing official plans.
Seattle's last Super Bowl victory parade
Seattle most recently hosted a Seahawks Super Bowl parade after the franchise’s first championship in 2014. That celebration drew hundreds of thousands of fans to downtown streets and Lumen Field — at times packing major avenues with supporters in cold temperatures.
Players rode through the city while supporters lined the route hours in advance. Multiple city departments coordinated traffic control, transit service and public safety to support the large crowd.
What fans could expect
If Seattle follows precedent, any Seahawks championship parade could include a downtown motorcade and rally, similar to the 2014 celebration that remains one of the largest public gatherings in local history.
Traffic impacts, street closures and adjustments to public transit service would be likely, and city officials typically encourage fans to use mass transit and plan ahead.
