This bill designates the twelfth day of December as the "Day of the 12s" in Washington State, recognizing the passionate fanbase of the Seattle Seahawks, known as the "12s." The bill amends RCW 1.16.050 to include this new holiday among the state's recognized legal holidays. Specifically, it adds the twelfth day of December to the list of days that are acknowledged but not considered legal holidays for any purpose, alongside other recognized days such as Korean-American Day and Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.

The legislation highlights the significance of the 12s, who have been a vital part of the Seahawks' culture and success since the team's inception. It notes their record-setting crowd noise and the community spirit they foster, emphasizing the unity and pride they bring to Washington. The bill aims to celebrate this dedicated fanbase and their contributions to the Seahawks and the broader community, marking December 12 as a day of recognition and celebration for the 12s.
