 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--
            (1) Congratulates--
                    (A) the Seattle Seahawks for their triumphant 
                victory in Super Bowl LX and acknowledges the 
                exceptional performances of players, coaches, and 
                support staff;

                    (C) Seahawks President Chuck Arnold;
                    (D) Seahawks President of Football Operations/

        and historic impact on the game;
            (3) Commends Jason Myers for his record-breaking five field 
        goals and outstanding scoring achievement;
            (4) Salutes the Seahawks' defense for its dominance, 
        resilience, and pivotal role in securing the championship;
            (5) Celebrates the Seahawks 12th Man, for being the most 
        loyal and loudest sports fans in the world; and
            (6) Requests that the Clerk of the House transmit an 
        enrolled copy of this resolution to--
