Thousands of fans clad in blue and green are expected to line the streets of SeaTac Sunday to send off the Seahawks as they head for the Super Bowl.
The Seahawks are encouraging the 12s to gather along the 1.1 mile route of South 188th Street starting at 46th Avenue South toward 28th Avenue South. There’s no official word on when the buses carrying the team, coaches and staff will pass by. But the team is inviting fans to start lining up at 9 a.m.
