Friday morning, Issaquah High School students gathered on the mall outside Eagles Stadium to rally for the Seattle Seahawks’ upcoming Super Bowl XLIX against the New England Patriots.
The Eagles band played and appearance were made by city of Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler, Issy the Eagle and even the legendary Sasquatch.
Making an official proclamation, in which students shouted each paragraph-beginning “whereas” in unison with the mayor, Butler declared the city would change its name to “12saquah” on Feb. 1 to show solidarity with the team.
