Hundreds of 12s decked out in their finest blue and green converged on Kent Town Square Plaza for a Seahawks rally Friday afternoon.

The rally, which made stops in DuPont and Renton before arriving in Kent, was the first for the city.

The Sea Gals, Blue Thunder and Blitz, as well as former Seahawks players Jordan Babineaux and Marcus Trufant, were on hand to get the crowd ready for the playoffs.

Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke raised the 12 flag on newly installed flagpole the city put up in the plaza for the ceremony.

The Seahawks travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings in an NFC wild-card playoff game on Sunday. Kickoff is 10:05 a.m. (KING-5 TV).
