Plenty of pageantry during Seahawks playoff rally at Renton City Hall

Blitz, the team mascot, made an appearance, as did the SeaGal cheerleaders and the Blue Thunder band Friday as the Seahawks prepare for Sunday’s wild-card game at Minnesota. There were selfie-sticks and kids climbing on shoulders for better looks and constantly waving blue 12 flags.

RENTON — It’s a testament to the Seahawks’ recent run of success that pre-playoff hype rallies have become less a novelty and more annual rites of winter.

Longtime fan Deborah Glenn trooped down the hill to City Hall from her Renton home before last year’s Super Bowl and was so blown away by the overflow crowd that she brought along her husband, Glenn, to Friday’s wild-card playoff rally.
