Seattle is preparing for a citywide celebration on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, as the Seattle Seahawks return home with their second Super Bowl title. Here’s what Longview, Kelso, and Cowlitz County residents should know—including scheduling, broadcast options, traffic advisories, and transportation tips.

The festivities begin at Lumen Field with a Trophy Celebration at 10:00 a.m. Fans must have a ticket to attend this free event, which is now sold out. Gates open at 8:30 a.m. ([seahawks.com](https://www.seahawks.com/news/seahawks-world-champions-parade-to-be-held-on-wednesday-february-11?utm_source=openai)) The parade follows at 11:00 a.m., starting at 4th Avenue and Washington Street, and proceeding north along 4th Avenue to Cedar Street—just over two miles of downtown Seattle. The procession is expected to last approximately two hours ([seahawks.com](https://www.seahawks.com/news/seahawks-world-champions-parade-to-be-held-on-wednesday-february-11?utm_source=openai)).

King County estimates between 750,000 and 1 million fans will pack the route ([seattlesports.org](https://www.seattlesports.org/events/seahawks-world-champions-parade?utm_source=openai)). Expect significant travel delays downtown and near I‑5 and I‑90, whose ramps may be briefly held at the outset of the parade ([seahawks.com](https://www.seahawks.com/news/seahawks-world-champions-parade-to-be-held-on-wednesday-february-11?utm_source=openai)).

Public transportation is strongly encouraged. Link light rail runs as scheduled, while Sound Transit and King County Metro buses will follow alternate routes. Fans should consult transit service advisories and use trip planning tools as needed ([seahawks.com](https://www.seahawks.com/super-bowl-lx/parade/?utm_source=openai)). WSDOT’s real-time travel map and mobile app will help drivers monitor conditions ([seahawks.com](https://www.seahawks.com/super-bowl-lx/parade/?utm_source=openai)). Parking near Lumen Field is extremely limited; the stadium’s parking garage and North Lot will be closed ([lumenfield.com](https://www.lumenfield.com/events/seahawks-world-champions-trophy-celebration?utm_source=openai)).

Broadcast coverage is split. KING 5 is the exclusive broadcast partner for the Trophy Celebration at Lumen Field; no other live coverage is permitted inside the stadium event ([seahawks.com](https://www.seahawks.com/news/seahawks-world-champions-parade-to-be-held-on-wednesday-february-11?utm_source=openai)). As the parade moves downtown, media coverage becomes unrestricted. Fans can follow live coverage via KING 5’s app, KING5.com, and on KONG TV. The station is also accessible via streaming platforms like Fubo TV ([seahawks.com](https://www.seahawks.com/super-bowl-lx/parade/?utm_source=openai)). FOX 13 Seattle will also deliver live, continuous coverage from the parade route and stream on its app and website ([fox13seattle.com](https://www.fox13seattle.com/sports/seahawks-super-bowl-parade-watch-live?utm_source=openai)).

What this means for southwest Washington communities:

While the parade unfolds in Seattle, the celebration will reverberate across the region. Enthusiastic fans from Longview, Kelso, and beyond can tune in via KING 5 streaming or FOX 13, or make a day trip to catch the action in person. Those considering travel into the city should plan around peak parade times, favor public transit, and allow plenty of extra time for the return journey.

Ensuring safe, accessible, and informed access is a shared civic task, whether viewers cheer from living rooms or line the streets in green and blue.
