Seahawks Super Bowl Victory Parade Set For Wednesday In Downtown Seattle

Seattle is set to celebrate the Seahawks’ Super Bowl LX championship with a citywide parade on Wednesday, February 11, expected to draw between 750,000 and one million fans to the downtown core.

The Seahawks clinched the title with a 29–13 victory over the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area, securing the franchise’s second Lombardi Trophy.

“This year’s Seahawks team brought all of Seattle together with the strongest, loudest, and most united spirit I’ve ever seen,” said Seattle Mayor Katie B. Wilson. “And yesterday, they delivered in historic fashion, beating the Patriots and bringing a second Lombardi Trophy home to Seattle. Now it’s time to celebrate. I’m looking forward to the parade this week, and I encourage everyone to come out and join the celebration — responsibly, together, and with pride.”

“This championship adds a powerful chapter to Seattle’s sports story and places our city once again on the national stage,” said Beth Knox, President and CEO of the Seattle Sports Commission. “An NFC title and a Super Bowl victory reflect the heart, preparation, and resilience of this organization. We look forward to gathering downtown with fans to celebrate a moment that will be remembered long after the banners are raised.”

The parade will begin at the intersection of Fourth Avenue South and South Washington Street and conclude at Fourth Avenue South and Cedar Street. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to secure a viewing spot along the route. Coverage of the parade and trophy celebration will begin at 10 a.m. on KING 5.

While no tickets are required to attend the parade, access to the Trophy Celebration at Lumen Field before the procession will require a ticket. No additional ceremony is planned at the end of the parade route near Seattle Center.

King County Executive Girmay Zahilay emphasized the region-wide effort supporting the event. “Wednesday will be a great day of celebration for our entire region, and I look forward to joining hundreds of thousands of Seahawk fans to celebrate our Super Bowl Champions. Celebrations like this are what the regional transportation network is made for. I encourage residents throughout King County to leave your cars at home and join the celebration.”

“An event like this is when public transit is as valuable as JSN open in the end zone,” said Metro General Manager Michelle Allison. “It’s all hands on deck for Metro as we work together with one goal in mind: making sure fans can get safely to the celebration and back home again. Bring your excitement, pack your patience, have a good time and let transit get you there.”

“The Seahawks took care of business Sunday, and now it’s our turn to deliver,” said Sound Transit CEO Dow Constantine. “We’ll be running extra trains all day to get you and thousands of 12s downtown to celebrate this historic moment.”

Regional transit providers, including Community Transit, Everett Transit, King County Metro, Kitsap Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit and Washington State Ferries, will offer expanded services. Fans are encouraged to travel early, consider staying late, and plan for flexible travel due to road closures and rerouted buses.

Sound Transit’s Link 1 Line will operate trains every six minutes from 5 a.m. through 6 p.m., with Sounder commuter trains adding four extra morning trips. Sound Transit Express buses will serve Eastside park-and-ride lots for direct travel into downtown Seattle.

King County Metro will provide special north-south shuttle service in the downtown core and reroute many buses around the parade. Riders should use the Metro Trip Planner, review service advisories, and consider walking or taking light rail to bypass congested streets. East-west buses will not cross Fourth Avenue during the event.

Two rider hubs are planned: one at Mercer Street and Queen Anne Avenue, with a circulator shuttle along Second and Third avenues; and another at Boren Avenue and Pike Street, with service south to Jackson Street. Shuttle maps will be posted online.

The King County Water Taxi will operate extra sailings from West Seattle and Vashon, with a third vessel on standby. The First Hill Streetcar will stop short of its normal route at Fifth Avenue and South Jackson due to expected crowds near Pioneer Square.

Kitsap Transit will deploy all three of its 118-passenger fast ferries on the Bremerton route, with added crew on the Kingston ferry to accommodate up to 349 passengers. Southworth service will operate a 250-passenger vessel. A backup plan is in place in case of vessel mechanical issues.

Pierce Transit will run special event buses every 15 minutes from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. from the 512 Park & Ride and Tacoma Dome Station to connect fans to Link light rail at Federal Way.

Community Transit will help Snohomish County fans reach the parade via connections to Link and Sounder stations. Riders should expect early park-and-ride congestion and use the Plan My Trip tool for transit planning. Updates on reroutes for Routes 424, 510 and 515 will be provided online.

Street closures along Fourth Avenue and surrounding streets will begin before 11 a.m. and continue until approximately 1:30 p.m. On-ramps to I-5 and I-90 may be temporarily held at the parade’s start.

Fans are advised to make detailed travel plans, allow extra time, and consider lingering downtown after the parade to help distribute transit demand more evenly.
