The 12 flag went up on Highline campus in anticipation of the Seahawks Super Bowl this Sunday. A few dozen students, staff, and faculty, all decked out in team spirit, showed up Thursday afternoon to watch Interim President Dr. Jamilyn Penn, raise the flag at the Veteran’s Plaza outside Building 6. 

It’s been over a decade since the Seahawks made it to the Super Bowl, and fans are counting on their performance this season as a good omen going into the championship. Veteran’s Plaza was filled with team chants and nostalgic trivia about past championship games. 

The Seahawks play at Levi Field in Santa Clara, Calif., this Sunday against the New England Patriots. Campus View, sporting a 12 flag of their own, will be hosting a watch party for the students to gather and enjoy. 

Go Hawks!
