Whether you're gearing up for Seahawks Training Camp or just looking to spend a legendary weekend near the team's energy, here is your playbook for doing a football getaway the Renton way.
Training Facility
Did you know the Seahawks train for football season all year right here in Renton? The Virginia Mason Athletic Center (VMAC) is the team’s official headquarters—home to offices, training grounds, and everything that keeps the Hawks game-ready. Nestled along the shores of Lake Washington, you can spot it easily thanks to the iconic 12 flag waving proudly from the building. While the facility isn’t open to the public during the season, it’s still a great photo-op from the scenic trail nearby.
Gear Up
Ready to celebrate like a true 12? You’ll need your Seahawks gear—and you’ll need it fast! The Seahawks Pro Shop has you covered. Located in The Landing shopping center, just a short hop from the Seahawks training facility, the Pro Shop is your official destination for all things Seahawks.
Step inside and you’ll be surrounded by waves of deep navy blue and electric green—colors that aren’t just colors, they’re a story of pride, passion, and being part of the 12s. Whether you’re hunting for classic fan favorites or eyeing something from an exclusive collection, this is the place to find it. Don’t miss out on limited-edition memorabilia to commemorate the big game!
