This bill designates the twelfth day of December as the "Day of the 12s" in recognition of the passionate Seattle Seahawks fans, known as the 12s. The bill amends RCW 1.16.050 to include this new holiday, marking it as a day to celebrate the community spirit and dedication of Seahawks fans who have significantly contributed to the team's culture and success. The 12s are celebrated for their loud support, which has even set Guinness World Records for crowd noise, and for fostering a sense of belonging among fans.

In addition to the insertion of the new holiday, the bill also includes a new section that highlights the historical significance of the 12s, detailing their impact on the Seahawks and the broader Washington community. The legislature acknowledges the unique bond formed among fans and their collective identity, which transcends geographical and cultural boundaries. The Day of the 12s is intended to honor this vibrant community and their unwavering support for the Seattle Seahawks.
