Build bridges not walls.

Seattle is a town of bridges. They are essential to connecting us and bringing us together. Let’s build bridges, not walls.

The trident 🔱 was the tool of Poseidon in Greek mythology but appears in many cultures, often symbolizing power. It’s only fitting that the the Mariners have often had a trident as part of their symbolism… they have the power to lift us up and bring us together or to completely destroy us. Let’s see what their power has for us this year.

Any predictions?
