Starting in the 1998 season, [[Blitz (NFL Mascot)|Blitz]] has been the Seahawks' official mascot.<ref>{{cite web|title=Blitz the Seahawk|url=https://www.seahawks.com/mascots/blitz/|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=Seahawks.com|access-date=August 21, 2021|archive-date=August 15, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210815031845/https://www.seahawks.com/mascots/blitz/|url-status=live}}</ref> Prior to the [[2014 NFL season]], Blitz was given a new look and a sidekick; a secondary mascot named Boom was introduced to appeal to and interact with younger children.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Horn |first=Sam  |date=September 21, 2014 |title=Seahawks add new mascot, Boom; give Blitz fresh look |url=https://blog.seattlepi.com/football/2014/09/21/seahawks-add-new-mascot-boom-update-look/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200723173601/https://blog.seattlepi.com/football/2014/09/21/seahawks-add-new-mascot-boom-update-look/ |archive-date=July 23, 2020 |access-date=August 21, 2021 |website=seattlepi.com |publisher=SeattlePI}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Boom|url=https://www.seahawks.com/mascots/boom/|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=Seahawks.com|access-date=August 21, 2021|archive-date=February 27, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210227101046/https://www.seahawks.com/mascots/boom/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In the [[2003 NFL season|2003]] and [[2004 NFL season|2004 season]]s, a [[hawk]] named Faith would fly around the stadium just before the team came out of the tunnel. However, because of her relatively small size and an inability to be trained to lead the team out of the tunnel, Faith was replaced by an [[Augur buzzard|augur hawk]] named Taima before the start of the [[2005 NFL season]]. Taima started leading the team out of the tunnel in September 2006.<ref>{{Cite news |last=O'Neil |first=Danny  |date=September 1, 2006 |title=First hawk out of the tunnel |url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sports/2003238829_bird01.html |access-date=June 21, 2007 |work=The Seattle Times}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Taima the Hawk|url=https://www.seahawks.com/mascots/taima/|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=Seahawks.com|access-date=August 21, 2021|archive-date=February 24, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224173152/https://www.seahawks.com/mascots/taima/|url-status=live}}</ref>
