RESOLUTION

Congratulating the Seattle Seahawks for winning Super Bowl LX and the 
12th Man for their unwavering support.

Whereas, on February 8, 2026, the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England 
Patriots by a score of 29-13 to capture their second Super Bowl title in 
franchise history;
Whereas head coach Mike Macdonald is the first head coach who also calls 
defensive plays to win a Super Bowl and the third youngest head coach to 
win a Super Bowl in National Football League (NFL) history;
Whereas Seahawks General Manager (GM) John Schneider is the only GM in NFL 
history to win two Super Bowls with two completely different rosters;
Whereas running back Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl LX Most Valuable 
Player after rushing 27 times for 135 yards, becoming the first running 
back to earn Super Bowl MVP honors since 1998;
Whereas kicker Jason Myers set a new Super Bowl record by converting five field 
goals, scoring a total of 17 points and becoming the first player in NFL 
history to exceed 200 points in a season (regular and postseason 
combined);
Whereas quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 202 yards with one touchdown and no 
interceptions;
Whereas the Seahawks' defense recorded six sacks, forced three turnovers, and 
dominated throughout, holding the Patriots scoreless for three quarters;
Whereas the Seahawks scored a key offensive touchdown on a 16-yard pass to tight 
end AJ Barner following a Patriots fumble early in the fourth quarter;
Whereas linebacker Uchenna Nwosu returned an interception 45 yards for a 
touchdown, helping to seal the Seahawks' victory;
Whereas Washington State proudly recognizes Cooper Kupp and Shane Lemieux of 
Yakima, and Abraham Lucas of Everett, whose exceptional talent and 
dedication on the field reflect the talent, determination, and character 
nurtured in our communities;
Whereas Cooper Kupp, from Yakima, Washington, and graduate of Davis High School 
and Eastern Washington University, has distinguished himself as one of 
the NFL's premier wide receivers and a Super Bowl MVP;
Whereas Abraham Lucas, born and raised in Everett, Washington, and a graduate of 
Archbishop Murphy High School and Washington State University, has 
become a key contributor on the Seahawks' offensive line, showcasing 
talent developed in our State's communities and schools;
Whereas Shane Lemieux, from Yakima, Washington, and graduate of West Valley High 
School and the University of Oregon, has distinguished himself as an 
accomplished NFL offensive lineman; and
Whereas, in December 1984, the Seahawks retired the number 12 in honor of their 
fan base, the loudest, proudest and most impactful group of fans in 
sports, which is known as the ``12s'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
