Seattle Children’s babies transformed into Valentine’s Day ‘Sweethearts’
SEATTLE — The Seattle Children’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) shared photos of an annual tradition that brings joy to families.
The NICU team celebrated each baby’s first Valentine’s Day with special costumes. The precious babies were dressed as a Sweethearts candy box, including a heart-shaped center and a “Love Ya” message.
Some parents posed with their children or helped nurses prepare babies for their photos.

Clean up crews find abandoned couches after Seahawks Super Bowl parade
SEATTLE – With the celebration over, clean-up continued late Wednesday following the big Seahawks Super Bowl parade.
Clean City crews were in Phase 3 of cleanup plans by around 6 p.m., and some were scheduled to be on the clock until about midnight, targeting final areas that need attention following the parade.
“Right now, crews are kind of mimicking the foot traffic they saw and now that they’re done their cleaning on the actual parade route they will fan out,” said John Steies, Interim Director of the Clean City Division for Seattle Public Utilities.
He said late night crews were planning to target areas of the downtown core, Pioneer Square and Capitol Hill before they end their shifts at midnight.
While SDOT leads the parade cleaning efforts in the streets, the Downtown Seattle Association and the SPU Clean City team make sure the sidewalks and other areas are picked up and waste cans emptied.
“It’s kind of a surge effort to make sure we are getting this cleaning done today, and it’s contained,” Steies said.
Most of the trash pickup included bottles and food wrappers, but some crews did find some unusual items, including whole couches, dragged outside onto the sidewalk for people to sit on while watching the parade, then abandoned.
“They did pick up a couple of couches on the parade route that folks must have just wanted to sit on during the event and were happy to get rid of afterward,” Steies said.
As far as any arrests, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said that there were no major incidents and no arrests.
“We had roughly a million people flood the streets of downtown Seattle to celebrate our Seahawks and one thing that I’m super excited about and happy to hear is that the police reported no major incidents. It was a peaceful and joyful celebration,” said Leesa Manion, King County Prosecuting Attorney.
John says the city did find litter cans disturbed at 4th and Bell, but their crews had no major incidents either.
With Super Bowl 60 in the books, SPU says they’ll be prepping for the next big event.
“This coming summer, SPU is leading the interdepartmental team to clean for the World Cup,” Steies said.

Seattle schools staying open despite Seahawks Super Bowl parade, absences unexcused
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Seattle Seahawks fans will undoubtedly come out in droves for Wednesday’s Super Bowl celebration, but for students partying, it will hurt their attendance records.
Seattle Public Schools announced earlier this week that schools will not only stay open, but going to the parade will not count as an excused absence.
“Seattle is buzzing with excitement as we celebrate the Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl victory! Moments like this bring our city together, spark pride across generations, and remind us of the power of shared experiences in our community,” Seattle Public Schools Chief Operations Officer Fred Podesta said in a letter. “As the city plans celebrations, including a victory parade planned for Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 10 a.m., we want families to know that Seattle Public Schools will remain open with the normal early-release Wednesday schedule.

“Keeping schools open is an important part of maintaining stability, safety, and continuity for our students. For many families, schools provide not only learning, but also meals, transportation, specialized services, and trusted routines. Remaining open allows us to support students’ academic progress while ensuring essential services continue for those who rely on them …
“We encourage families to celebrate this historic moment in ways that work best for your household, while also helping us keep learning strong across the district. Thank you for your partnership and support as we balance celebration with our shared commitment to students. Go Hawks!”

The celebration will begin at Lumen Field at 10 a.m. PT with a parade commencing an hour later throughout the city.
It’s the second time the Seahawks have taken the Lombardi Trophy to the Pacific Northwest, also winning Super Bowl XLVIII in New Jersey against the Denver Broncos.
It was an 11-year wait for revenge for Seattle, who defeated the New England Patriots over a decade after Malcolm Butler’s infamous interception at the goal line.
