Overview
- Seattle launched the celebration with a ceremony at Lumen Field before a two‑mile downtown parade that drew hundreds of thousands, with police preparing for up to one million along the route.
- Linebacker Ernest Jones IV delivered an expletive‑laced defense of his quarterback and city during his parade speech while sporting a provocative Sam Darnold T‑shirt.
- Sam Darnold told fans that belief carried him through the season and publicly thanked chair Jody Allen, GM John Schneider and coach Mike Macdonald for their support.
- Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III was hailed by fans, with Schneider joking on stage that Walker tried to negotiate a contract on the spot after his 135‑yard rushing performance in the title game.
- The Seattle festivities capped a whirlwind victory tour that saw Walker and Darnold visit Disneyland less than 24 hours after the win, leading a Main Street cavalcade and taking a spin on the Mad Tea Party ride.
