Hundreds of loud Seahawks fans showed up for a public rally at Seattle Center Wednesday, braving sporadic rain to dance to some live music and see appearances by members of the Sea Gals, mayor Ed Murray, a few former Seahawks players, and plenty more. There were also a limited amount of the coveted “Seattle Mix” Skittles being handed out. Fans also were able to sign a giant 12th Man flag that will be sent to the Super Bowl and presented to the team before the game.
