1. Go up to the top of the Space Needle if you haven't before. Close to sunset is the best.
2. I struggle with timelines, but my two favorite plays are Beastquake 1.0, and Largent destroying the defense back to force the fumble after the interception.
3. Stop deferring discomfort. The immediate pain of toil leads to the simultaneous comfort and pride which attend genuine achievement.
I have about 20 autographed balls and jerseys, Sherman gave my son a towel he was using after a MNF game in St Louis, a piece of kingdome turf and a custom stand up Seahawks 4 player arcade machine.
I keep thinking about JS wearing Hall's jersey beneath his sportcoat on the sidelines during the game Hall had to sit out for stepping none too lightly on an opponent, whether or not those steps were intentional or simply big men moving awkwardly. And so I wonder if they see Hall differently. It's a small thing to hang an opinion on, to be sure.
10 years: "The hurt you feel from losing SB XLIX will be healed one day, in a most satisfying fashion."
20 Years: "You should get into NFL now, not in 6 years' time. Also start working out regularly now. It's gonna be a lot harder to form that habit when you're older."
My sense of time is beyond stupid, but my three best play memories are the Kam Chancellor smack on Vernon Davis, the Jermaine Kearse double 360 SB TD, and DK Metcalf running down Budda Baker.
15 yard TD pass from Zorn to Largent with 50 seconds left to lead the Seahawks to a 20-19 win over the Browns, giving them a 5-9 record, best ever for a 2nd year expansion team at the time (1977)
Kam crushing Vernon Davis near the goal line in 2012. Wilson overcoming 3 ints, 16-0 to beat Packers in OT on bomb to Kearse in OT to advance to 2015 Superbowl . Dave Krieg finding Skansi for last second TD against Chiefs after Derrick Thomas sacked him 7 times and had him in his grasp for #8. Probably in the 1990s. Those are what comes to mind.
Mike Curtis blocks a FG with 40 seconds left to preserve the Seahawks first win ever! (1976) ties with the Fake FG from Zorn to Herrera in the 2nd ever win, over Atlanta on MNF. Glorious plays in our first ever season.
Came here to say the exact same thing. Watched it live and in the moment remembered the dirty hit Largent took earlier in the season. Definitely one of the best Seahawk moments from those early days.
What tips would you give to someone either going to a Seahawks home game for the first time or maybe that you don't even think season ticket holders are aware of?
I am from Australia so I have only been to one single Seahawks home game (the first throwback game against the Browns in 2023) but I can say that one of the biggest highlights of that entire day was the sub I got from Tat's Deli just a couple of blocks from the stadium. I don't think I've had a better sandwich in my life. I literally still have dreams about it.

Whats your coolest Seahawks memorabilia?

What should we expect the pre-draft rumored Derick Hall extension to be? Is 4/$100M reasonable for both sides?
I expect the Seahawks to treat Hall the same as Mafe.
I keep thinking about JS wearing Hall's jersey beneath his sportcoat on the sidelines during the game Hall had to sit out for stepping none too lightly on an opponent, whether or not those steps were intentional or simply big men moving awkwardly.

If a person is visiting the Pacific Northwest for the first time, what hidden gems would you tell them about?
Hurricane ridge
Columbia river gorge, Snoqualmie falls and the Olympic Pennisula bigfoot clan!
What is your favorite restaurant in the Seattle area?
The venerable Sunlight Cafe, 65th & Roosevelt. Surely I'm not the only vegetarian in chat? Every other place I used to love is long gone.
Redmond Family Pancake House!, lol
Elliott's escalating oyster happy hour...though it has changed
Canlis
El Gaucho
Zig Zag was always fun
and the last time I was in town, I really enjoyed Kastoori Grill
Mackys Dim Sum, Issaquah
Is there any question you want to ask an older Seahawks fan? Or maybe a younger Seahawks fan? Generational help goes both ways.
Which player who retired before the year 2000 is the best to go back and watch highlights of? It could be a Seahawks player or any player.
Kenny Easley....or Steve Largent.
I agree with those and will add Curt Warner.
Oh, and Daryl Turner:

What's the best play in Seahawks history from the 1970s? 1980s? 1990s? 2000s? What comes to mind for all or any of those decades?

All of these decades were before my time as a fan, but the plays I know about that have trickled through to me:
80s: the Largent revenge hit on Mike Harden, forcing and recovering a fumble.
00s: Beast Quake of course
How about our punter running out of the end zone?
