DRAFT

RENTON, Wash. – The first stretch of prolonged cold winter weather has arrived in western Washington, and it’s expected to stick around into next week.

With overnight lows in the 30s Saturday night, many overnight emergency shelters welcomed their first guests at 8 p.m.

At St. Anthony’s Rec Hall in Renton, 40 beds are available to those in need.

What they’re saying:

“We’re providing them with food, a pair of shoes, a pair of socks, and, of course, a warm place to sleep,” said Fenice Fregoso, program director of REACH Renton.

The organization oversees the shelter.

“We’re setting people up for success for the next day,” said Fregoso. “This way, they don’t have to stress on how they’re going to be able to get A, B, and C.”

Local perspective:

Among the individuals taking advantage of the cold weather services is Brandon Lakey. He’s trading the outdoors for a warm, safe cot.

“When it’s cold like this at night, places like this mean life,” said Lakey. “It’s everything, it’s survival. It means that someone cares, that someone’s reaching out to us.”

The Renton overnight shelter will run from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. Saturday to Tuesday night.

For those seeking information on shelters and navigating to shelter locations, people are encouraged to call the Severe Weather Shelter Navigation Hotline: (206) 245-1026.

Two members of the Seattle Seahawks coaching staff will be a part of the SB.

No, not the Super Bowl, but the Shrine Bowl, which will be played on Jan. 30. It is an All-Star Game, a little less known than the Senior Bowl (Feb 01). However, Eric Galko has done an incredible job in recent years getting several elite prospects for the event.

Later on, we will bring you names to keep an eye on in these two games, which are the main All-Star Games of the Draft season. In these games, it is customary to give opportunities to lesser-known members of the coaching staffs of the time, or allow them to have “bigger” loads than they actually have. For example, Mike Kafka, who was targeted by Seattle last year for OC and HC, and is currently the Giants’ OC, was HC in the Shrine Bowl.

The times are divided into East and West. The two members who were chosen for the Shrine Bowl were Josh Bynes and Quinshon Odom. Bynes will be the West team’s LBs coach, while Odom will be the OL Coach.

Bynes was playing in the NFL as a linebacker until 2022, including with the Ravens. He was coached by Mike Macdonald while in Baltimore. In 2024 he was announced to the new Seattle staff, with the role of Assistant LBs coach.

Odom also joined the Seattle coaching staff with the arrival of Macdonald. However, he has a longer career as a coach. He started in 2015 as an intern at Eastern Kentucky. After that he spent four years at Vanderbilt as an offensive assistant and offensive quality control. In 2021 he coached the Buffalo Bills’ RBs during training camp as part of the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship. Odom was then hired by the Texas Longhorns as an offensive line assistant. In 2022 and 2023 he was an offensive assistant, more focused on the offensive line for the Green Bay Packers as part of the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship.

To be quite honest, the players at these positions (LB and OL) are the best on the East team. In any case, their presence at the event can help with scouting, as well as developing them for their future coaching careers.

Forever a 12!
