Seahawks parade safety plan calls for ‘every available officer’
Schools will follow the usual early-release schedule with no excused absences for parade attendance, ensuring continued access to meals and services, officials said.
- On Monday, Seattle Public Schools informed families it will keep schools open and that missing class for the Seahawks parade will not be excused, Chief Operations Officer Fred Podesta said.
- District officials explained the choice to maintain operations because keeping schools open preserves stability, safety and continuity for students and provides meals, transportation and specialized services.
- On Wednesday, Seattle Public Schools will follow a normal early‑release schedule, while officials warned parents, students and staff to allow extra travel time due to potential traffic disruptions.
- With large crowds expected, the district adopted a stricter attendance posture than in 2014, and the city predicts upwards of a half a million will attend the parade and trophy ceremony at Lumen Field.
- For those not attending in person, the parade will be available on KING 5's streaming platforms including KING5 apps, KING5.com and KONG TV, with exclusive coverage starting at 9 a.m.
