Senators laud Seahawks’ championship run
“Today, I am proud to sponsor a resolution honoring the Seattle Seahawks for one of the most remarkable seasons in Washington state history,” said Sen. Nikki Torres, R-Pasco.
She added that the championship race “brings this House together, putting politics aside, but it brings people together.”
Sen. Steve Conway, D-Tacoma, voiced his support, reflecting on decades spent watching the team.
“I’ve been watching the Seahawks play football for almost five decades, and I never thought I’d see a game where the Seahawks won by making field goals,” he said, noting that kicker Jason Myers made five field goals in the Super Bowl – a new record.

Conway also praised head coach Mike Macdonald, saying, “He brought something different to this team, and I believe we are in his debt for what he has done for our state.”
The resolution commends the organization’s players, coaches, staff and owners – as well as the “12” – for their support. It also recognizes the team’s charitable and community work throughout Washington state.
