With last year’s playoff run still fresh for many fans, the Seahawks are back and hungrier than ever for success in 2023. To celebrate the start of the season, the Hawks brought football fun to South Lake Union in the form of a block party on Thursday, September 7.

Pulsating beats filled the air as DJ Supa Sam spun his magic, setting the perfect ambiance for a day celebrating Seahawks fandom. Matching the beats with their moves, the Seahawks Dancers enthralled the crowd with mesmerizing performances.

The event became a walk down memory lane as Seahawks legends graced the party. Orlando Huff, a former Seahawk standout, signed autographs and relived moments with fans. Marcus Trufant, another revered Seahawk, added a touch of fun, showing off his mini-golf skills to fans. Marshall Glaze from “Love is Blind” also made an appearance and was photographed alongside Blitz, the Seahawks’ enthusiastic mascot.
