The bill designates December 12th as the "Day of the 12s" in recognition of the passionate Seattle Seahawks fans, known as the 12s, who have significantly contributed to the team's culture and success. 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. The legal language added to the current law states that December 12th is recognized as the day of the 12s, alongside other state holidays.

In addition to the insertion of the new holiday, the bill highlights the historical significance of the 12s, including their record-setting crowd noise and the unique bond they share as a community. The legislature emphasizes the importance of this day as a celebration of the unity and pride among Seahawks fans, who come together to support their team and foster a sense of belonging. The bill aims to honor the legacy of the 12s and their impact on both the team and the broader Washington community.
