Seattle is getting ready for a huge championship party.
The Seahawks World Champions Parade is set for Wednesday, February 11, after Seattle won Super Bowl LX with a 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots at Levi’s Stadium in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The biggest takeaway for fans planning to go: the day includes a ticketed stadium event, then a downtown parade route expected to draw 750,000 to 1 million people, and officials are urging people to plan ahead for closures and transit changes.
UPDATE, 11:24 a.m. ET: Seattle police are urging fans not to drive downtown, with 4th Avenue closing to traffic starting at 6 a.m. between Washington and Cedar, and key Lumen Field parking areas closed to the public. Officials are encouraging fans to use Link light rail and expect bus reroutes and major delays into early afternoon.

Here’s what officials have confirmed:
- Link light rail will operate as normal.
- Sound Transit and King County Metro buses will operate on alternative routes.
