Seahawks Win! It’s Never Over ‘Til It’s Over
We asked, you confessed: Did you stop watching the game early?
By Lauren Mang and Sara Jones January 19, 2015
Wow! What. A. Game. Our Seahawks are Super Bowl-bound for the second year in a row after defeating the Green Bay Packers 28-22 in what might be one of the greatest comebacks in Seattle sports history.
Things certainly looked bleak in the first half–Wilson’s many turnovers, our inability to convert on third down–and, well, some 12th fans were starting to lose the faith. Obviously, those who bailed on the NFC Championship game during half time missed all the action. As Russell Wilson gave teary interviews after his game-winning pass to Jermaine Kearse during overtime, we took to our loyal Twitter following to ask:
Did you stop watching #SEAvsGB game early? Tweet us how you felt when you saw the final score, we’ll include the best one(s) in our roundup!

Things I did, saw, ate, learned, or read in the past week (or so).
CLAY RELATIONS I went to see the Seattle Asian Art Museum’s new Kondō family exhibit expecting beautiful ceramics, and there are plenty.

My second lasting impression of the festival would be rounding…
