For the third year in a row, in recognition of the tremendous Whatcom County-based fan following, Bellingham has been chosen as a stop on the annual 12 Tour of the Seattle Seahawks.
Bellingham Whatcom County Tourism and the Best Western PLUS Lakeway Inn will collaboratively host a 12 Tour event at noon Saturday, July 11 at the Lakeway Inn, 701 Lakeway Drive. The event will feature fullback Will Tukuafu and defensive end Julius Warmsley of the Seahawks, plus Sea Gals, Blitz the mascot and a performance by the Blue Thunder band in celebration of the official raising of the 12 Flag.
“We have been honored to serve as the Hawks’ 12 Tour headquarters for past two years and look forward to raising the flag with enthusiastic fanfare this year as well,” said Larry MacDonald, General Manager of the Lakeway Inn.
Seahawks fans of all ages are encouraged to wear their blue for the free rally. Specialty fan food and beverages will be available at the Lakeway Inn before and after the rally.
Tukuafu was originally acquired as a free agent in October 2014 as a fullback but also saw some time at defensive lineman. He played at both positions during the Super Bowl. He played in nine regular-season games with two starts at fullback.
Warmsley was signed to the Seahawks practice squad in September 2014 after spending training camp with the Houston Texans.
