  Fauntleroy is jammed with cars heading downtown I presume. Stay safe out there!

• Erin February 2, 2014 (7:55 pm)

  Think they will add some extra times for the water taxi on Wednesday for the parade at 11:00am?

• hj February 2, 2014 (7:57 pm)

  Now if we could only get people this excited about science, education or the arts…

  Congrats, Hawks!!!

  Invasion of the Bandwagoners.

• Erithan February 2, 2014 (8:16 pm)

  Great that they won and all(especially after so long)…but in the Alaska Junction it’s been non stop yelling and honking for over and hour now…even the cops and fire engines running through with sirens etc on, not trying to calm things down. Things seem to be escalating to, especially with all the bars around.=/

  • WSB February 2, 2014 (8:53 pm)

    Erithan – the police/fire engines were on their way to the Arbor Heights heavy rescue (see separate story) – there was a police car standing by midblock between Oregon and Alaska on California when we first got there in the early going. For family reasons I just had to take a run up to Capitol Hill and it was BEDLAM there. Streets blocked off and full of people, especially in the Broadway/Pike/Pine area. – TR

• John February 2, 2014 (8:18 pm)

  Amen, hj. I’d love to see a headline this big about something that really matters.

• Nw mama February 2, 2014 (8:45 pm)

  Who do we contact to encourage increased water taxi routes for Wednesday?
  –
  John & Hj- my 3 y old is excited about the hawks (all season) and through the games we’ve been able to reinforce numbers 1-99 and he’s learned to associate player #s with names. And besides, it encourages him to get out doing gross motor play.. And, there’s nothing wrong with a little spirit!

• B February 2, 2014 (8:46 pm)

  LOVE LOVE LOVE the 20-second parties in the middle of the WS Junction!

• Erithan February 2, 2014 (8:56 pm)

  ahh interesting timing, I had heard a car 2-3 times just randomly within the hour.

  Sorry very tired….

• Alki girl February 2, 2014 (9:27 pm)

  Awesome game!!!!! Go Hawks!!!!!! I can’t wait for the parade on Wednesday. Skipping work and kids are skipping school!!!!! First Super Bowl win for Seattle, can’t miss it. Here’s to irresponsible parenting!!!!!

• miws February 2, 2014 (9:39 pm)

  I remember when the Sonics won the Championship in 1979.

  .

  I lived on California, just south of the Junction at the time, and it was a pretty steady stream of people driving by honking their horns, and flashing the “1” gesture, until around 9:00 pm, as I recall.

  .

  Then, just after 2:00 in the morning, it started all up again for awhile. :-)

    Since I am unfortunately a later arrival – 1991 – co-publisher Patrick had to remind me tonight that this is the first major sports championship since ’79. That’s a long wait. And probably the most excitement since the Mariners’ big run in 1995, which was such a thrill … and yet also long ago; the child I was expecting then is about to officially hit adulthood. – TR

  The last weeks have been constant over-the-top hype from every direction, but a lot of people enjoyed it and the result. Wilson is a class act and I think he represents his religious faith well.

• metrognome February 2, 2014 (10:30 pm)

  thank dawg our loooooong national nightmare is over and we finally have a decisive winner in the Puppy Bowl!!!!!

• Nw mama February 2, 2014 (11:18 pm)

  Wsb- I think you’re forgetting the storm (as is every other news outlet)

  • WSB February 2, 2014 (11:38 pm)

    NW – I just saw that mentioned on Twitter, and yes, you’re right, and that’s awful. At least I only made the mistake in comments. As their website points out, 2004 and 2010 WNBA champions!

• Mike in Shorewood February 2, 2014 (11:20 pm)

  Classy Seattle. Loud and Proud. Bigger, younger, stronger and faster. Start of something special? Go Hawks!!?

• Cait February 2, 2014 (11:45 pm)

  I stepped out on my porch after the game and it sounded like the stadium was right outside. Our whole neighborhood was outside cheering and honking and it was perfect! I’ll remember that moment forever. Thanks 12th man – especially the North Delridge faction!! :)

• jim February 2, 2014 (11:54 pm)

  Don’t forget we also have a Stanley Cup win too.

• yes February 3, 2014 (12:04 am)

  FRIGGGIN AWWWWWWWWWWWESOME!!!!!!!!!

• Vanilla Gorilla February 3, 2014 (12:37 am)

  BEAST MODE!!!! Im About That Action Boss!!!!

• Paige February 3, 2014 (6:08 am)

  Hahaha this is why I love WS. Only here can you have a rowdy group of fans cheering in the street, then as soon as the light changes everyone politely rushes back to the sidewalks!

• miws February 3, 2014 (7:41 am)

  ….and don’t forget the Miss Bardahl either! :-)

  Good point, Paige!

  Thank you, NW Mama and WSB for acknowledging: up until recently, the Seattle Storm has been this city’s most competitive, winningest team. It’s so sad that we don’t celebrate our women in sports like we do our men. :(

  Still… So excited about our Seahawks and how the 12th man has unified this city. I hope this energy lasts for a while. It’s been just awesome to be a part of it these last few weeks. :)

• Alphonse February 3, 2014 (10:39 am)

  Exactly, Seattle Native. You should have to prove that you were a season ticket holder in 1976 to qualify to support the Seahawks. And they should trade everyone on the team besides Kearse and Walters because they’re the only two natives of the area.

• Bandwagoner February 3, 2014 (11:30 am)

  +1 Alphonse — never understood the problem with “bandwagoners” when it is so fun to have a city come together over something like this. Yesterday was the first football game I watched start to finish, but I relished the pride I felt in the team, the fans, and the city itself. Isn’t that what it’s all about?

• BlairJ February 3, 2014 (11:48 am)

  Chinese new year was this weekend, ushering in the Year of the Horse. And this horse is no Bronco. This horse has wings!

• Johnny Baseball February 3, 2014 (12:02 pm)

  Don’t forget the Mariners 2001 – 116 game winners!

• Me February 3, 2014 (3:42 pm)

  @ AJ…. I agree too.

  “Now if we could only get people this excited about science, education or the arts…”

• redblack February 3, 2014 (10:09 pm)

  while we’re on the subject of seattle teams that did well but didn’t win a title, how about the seahawks’ 13-3 season in 2005? superbowl XL was a good game, and that was a great team; but it lacked the cohesion of the ‘hawks’ 2013 team. this team earned every yard with hard work and guts.
  .
  or how about the 1996 sonics?
  .
  anyone else remember the reign man dunking on rodman, then wrapping his legs around the illustrated man as he hung from the rim during the finals? or payton shutting down jordan?
  .
  and, man, how i miss kevin colabro.
  .
  last night, the ‘hawks redeemed all of those past seattle teams that came *that* close.
  .
  thank you for a great and exciting season, gentlemen.

Sorry, comment time is over.
