What ex-WR likes about the Seattle Seahawks' 2025 schedule
The second season of the Mike Macdonald era starts with a chance for the Seattle Seahawks to make a statement.
The Seahawks open 2025 at home Sept. 7 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers with a chance to gain the upper hand in the NFC West right away. The Seahawks won’t face the 49ers again until they travel to Levi’s Stadium for their final game of the season.

That scheduling quirk is something that caught the attention of Seahawks Radio Network analyst and former NFL wide receiver Michael Bumpus for a good reason.
“I love that you get the Niners early and you get them late, because the last few years it felt like we played them like back-to-back weeks,” Bumpus said during his Four Down Territory segment on Seattle Sports’ Bump and Stacy.
Last season the Seahawks and 49ers had five weeks (three games and a bye week) between their matchups, and in 2023 it was just two weeks (one game).
“The reason why I like this (year’s schedule) is because you get a shot at a contender,” Bumpus said. “You guys get to match up early, see what you’re made of, go through the full season, people (get) hurt, you got to adjust, you got film on those guys, and then you end the season with the 49ers as well.”
Seattle also had just two weeks between games with the Arizona Cardinals last year. This year the Seahawks’ closest matchups with the same divisional foe is five weeks apart (at the Rams on Nov. 16 and home against the Rams on Dec. 18).
“Just spread the divisional opponents out a little bit,” Bumpus said. “Let us go through some other divisions and play those guys, and let’s be able to adjust and get better and work that way. I hate it when this so close. I’m like, ‘Come on. We’re playing the same team.’ There’s been no change. There’s been no real development going on.
“So I like that you got the Niners early, you got them late. It gives you a chance to grow and kind of see what they’re doing.”

SEATTLE — Homestead Community Land Trust celebrated the completion of Nest, a new mixed-income condominium community on Seattle’s Phinney Ridge, during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday.
The development creates 30 homeownership opportunities in one of Seattle’s most sought-after neighborhoods, including 19 permanently affordable homes and 11 market-rate homes.

Located at 6109 Phinney Ave. N., Nest is Homestead’s second condominium development on Phinney Ridge and the latest addition to its portfolio of permanently affordable homeownership communities.
Residents will have walkable access to neighborhood businesses, transit, and parks, as well as views of the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges.
Homes designated for income-qualified households are expected to be priced between approximately $250,000 and $335,000, compared with Seattle’s median condominium price of about $600,000.
Speakers at the ribbon-cutting ceremony included Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson, state Sen. Emily Alvarado, Nicole Vallestero-Soper, director of policy and innovation for Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, and Homestead homeowner Jessica Garcia-Ortiz.
The project was developed on a site assembled from a former Seattle City Light property made available through the City of Seattle for affordable homeownership and an adjacent parcel acquired by Homestead.
The development highlights how public land, public investment, and community partnerships can be used to create long-term homeownership opportunities in high-cost neighborhoods.
Nest includes one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, rooftop community space, and all-electric, fossil-fuel-free construction.
The homes feature heat pumps, induction ranges, and modern building systems designed to reduce environmental impact and operating costs.
The development also incorporates environmentally sustainable materials and bio-based, PVC-free flooring that is cradle-to-grave certified carbon neutral.
The development was made possible in part through the transfer of a former Seattle City Light property for permanently affordable homeownership, advancing the use of public land to support housing affordability in Seattle.
Police are talking with a person who reported being a victim of a street robbery late tonight at or near California SW and SW Raymond.
