City of Seattle makes decision on schools during the Super Bowl parade

The Seattle Seahawks will have their first Super Bowl parade in over a decade after dominating the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX. As a result, the city of Seattle will host a parade for its beloved world champions. The diehard 12s, casual Seahawks fans, and even non-fans of Seattle will want to see the huge party the Super Bowl-winning team is creating.

The City of Seattle prepared a plan for the team and fans, just in case of a Seahawks victory. The Seattle Public Schools District said on Monday, that schools will still have normal operations and won’t be considered an excused absence if students or workers go to the parade. The schools will release students with their normal early release times on Wednesday.

What this means for some Seahawks fans

Officially, this means the City of Seattle is saying that schools will be functioning normally. Unofficially, it means that the parents and guardians won’t have to find a babysitter, so they don’t have to be on their best behavior.

This parade is going to be crowded, busy, and full of celebration with alcohol, and that’s just the players and coaching staff alone. The fans might try to match that same level of excitement while behind the barricades or in the balconies overlooking the parade.

The Seahawks are about to have their second-ever Super Bowl parade, but it is the first for the players, coaches, and personnel. Essentially, only general manager John Schneider and long-tenured employees who have been there since 2013 experienced the first parade. This will be a chance for the team to have fun since starting the long grinding journey to the Super Bowl.

What to expect from this Super Bowl parade

This parade is going to be big and will have some unexpected wild moments, as does every Super Bowl. When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won Super Bowl LV over the Kansas City Chiefs in 2021, quarterback Tom Brady tossed the Lombardi Trophy from one boat to another to tight end Rob Gronkowski.

The last time the Seahawks held their Super Bowl parade in 2014, over 700,000 people visited the parade. Running back Marshawn Lynch was seen eating Skittles, and other players were celebrating with beer showers. The celebration concluded with a rally at then named CenturyLink Field.

There could be a lot of unique and wild storylines with the possibility of great speeches, some unique celebrations, and beloved players like quarterback Sam Darnold, wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, cornerback Devon Witherspoon, and defensive tackle Leonard Williams lifting the Lombardi Trophy.
