==Headquarters and training camps==
During the Seahawks' first ten seasons ([[1976 Seattle Seahawks season|1976]]–[[1985 Seattle Seahawks season|85]]), the team's headquarters was in [[Kirkland, Washington|Kirkland]] at the southern end of the [[Lake Washington Shipyard]] (now Carillon Point), on the shores of [[Lake Washington]].<ref name=lwshphlnk>{{cite news |url=http://www.historylink.org/File/20514 |work=History Link |last=Stein |first=Alan J. |title=Lake Washington Shipyards (Kirkland) |date=February 28, 2018 |access-date=June 24, 2018 |archive-date=June 25, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180625075126/http://www.historylink.org/File/20514 |url-status=live }}</ref> The summer training camps were held across the state at [[Eastern Washington University]] in [[Cheney, Washington|Cheney]], southwest of [[Spokane, Washington|Spokane]].

When the team's new headquarters across town in Kirkland was completed in [[1986 Seattle Seahawks season|1986]], the Seahawks held training camp at home for the next eleven seasons (1986–96), staying in the dormitories of the adjacent [[Northwest University (United States)|Northwest College]]. In [[1997 Seattle Seahawks season|1997]], [[Dennis Erickson]]'s third season as head coach, the team returned to the hotter and more isolated [[Cheney, Washington|Cheney]] for training camp, which continued through [[2006 Seattle Seahawks season|2006]]. In 2007, training camp returned to the Seahawk's Kirkland facility because of the scheduled [[China Bowl (NFL)]] game, which was later canceled. In 2008, the Seahawks held the first three weeks of camp in Kirkland, then moved to the new {{convert|19|acre|m2|adj=on}} [[Virginia Mason Athletic Center]] (VMAC) on August 18 for the final week of training camp, where the team has held their training camps since. The new facility, adjacent to Lake Washington in [[Renton, Washington|Renton]], has four full-size practice fields: three natural grass outdoors and one [[FieldTurf]] indoors.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Romero |first=José Miguel  |date=August 19, 2008 |title=Seahawks digging their new digs in Renton |url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/seahawks/2008123067_hawk19x.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111126212328/http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/seahawks/2008123067_hawk19x.html |archive-date=November 26, 2011 |access-date=January 29, 2015 |work=The Seattle Times}}</ref>
