For the past few weeks, the World Cup gave Seattle plenty to cheer about. But remember February?
The Seahawks gave Seattle more than a championship; they gave us each other. In living rooms and crowded bars, in offices and cafés, strangers became family in a single shared roar. Blue and green flickered in windows and on bodies, a signal fire of belief. This victory belongs to the 12s who never stopped believing through the rebuilding years and the heartbreak.
It also belongs to Paul Allen, whose audacious faith kept this team rooted in the Northwest. He believed a small, rainy corner of the country could dream big and in color. This Lombardi feels like a love letter to that vision—to community, to resilience, to Seattle itself.
To our Seattle Seahawks, the 2026 Super Bowl LX champions! Your win brought us together and made us proud to be 12s.

On a recent visit, however, when I entered the…

That’s not because baseball, or sports in general, are inherently bad for the environment. It’s just not the connection most of us make right away. But waste management, recycling, and energy reduction programs have become central…
