The Seattle Seahawks faced off against the New Orleans Saints Saturday, coming out with a 23-15 win.

Sumnerites gathered the night before at Midtown Station in Sumner to cheer the team on with the 12th man spirit the region is known for.

The 12th man tailgate rally was sponsored by the Sumner Downtown Association (SDA) and Midtown Station. The fan activities included a hotdog sale and raffle, with proceeds donated directly to the Sumner Food Bank. Every Hawks’ fan that walked in the door received one courtesy beverage, donated by Sunset Chevrolet.

“We’re all 12th men showing our support for the Seahawks and supporting our community at the same time,” Midtown Station owner Kristi Kildare said.

Sumner’s official 12th man tailgate rally will be held at a different local business this week. Fans that missed out on the fun, and those who are ready for round two, can join SDA from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday at Urban Timber Coffee, 6621 166th Ave. E.

Proceeds from the raffle will benefit the SDA. Executive Director Laurie Miller said the association received a drop in funds this year and in order to provide the community services, it will need to raise some money. One of the big ticket items this week includes an autographed Richard Sherman jersey, donated by Sunset Chevrolet.

Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers will be a big one. The division rivals have faced off twice this season, with a win and loss on each side. Sumner fans will gather once again with their craziest Seahawks gear and get the party started early at Urban Timber Coffee.
