Rally in Renton Friday to send off the Seahawks to Atlanta


January 8, 2013 · 10:15 AM

A rally and party Friday afternoon at Renton City Hall will send off the Seattle Seahawks for their NFL playoff game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

The fan rally is 12:30 p.m.-2 p.m. at City Hall, 1055 S. Grady Way. The Sea Gals and Blitz will attend, along with Mayor Denis Law and City of Renton officials and employees.

Fans are asked to wear their blue – and their best Seahawks spirit costume – and put on "12" buttons. There will be free hot dogs, free Seahawks cheer cards, and prizes for the best Seahawks spirit costume.

The 12th Man flag is flying at City Hall.

At 2 p.m., fans will walk to the Benson Road bridge over Interstate 405 to cheer the Seahawks bus as it heads for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for the trip to Atlanta.
