Seahawks postpone Military Hiring Fair ‘out of an abundance of caution’

The Seattle Seahawks have postponed their Military Hiring Fair ‘out of an abundance of caution’ due to the spread of Coronavirus in the area.

The Seattle Seahawks have postponed their Military Hiring Event “out of an abundance of caution” due to the spread of the Coronavirus throughout Washington State.

The event, open to all branches of service – active duty, reservists, veterans, family members and DoD employees – was to have taken place on March 14 at CenturyLink Field and was sold out.

A part-time employee who had worked the XFL’s Seattle Dragons game at the stadium recently has now been diagnosed with COVID-19.

The Seahawks tweeted the following information Friday afternoon:

“Out of an abundance of caution, and in light of current recommendations from public health officials, we will be postponing the Military Hiring Fair scheduled for Mar 14. We apologize for any inconvenience.

“We will communicate a new date for the event as soon as it has been set.”

The Seattle Sounders FC’s match versus Columbus Crew SC set for  Saturday, March 7 is set to take place as planned at CenturyLink Field.
