Prior to last weekend’s playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks, Washington DC Mayor Vincent Gray made a friendly wager with Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn. The bet: the losing city would have to fly the other city’s flag for a day.
When the bet was made, Mayor Gray said he was confident it would be Seattle flying Washington’s flag, bringing up the fact the Seahawks had not won a road playoff game since 1983. However, as any Redskins fan knows, last Sunday the Seahawks defeated the Skins 24-14.
Well, as Mayor Gray wrote on Twitter, “DC is good on its word. Raising the Seattle city flag over the Wilson Building today.” The flag of Seattle will fly until 5:00 p.m. today, Thursday, January 10, 2013.
Crockett Facilities Services’ own Tony Long can be seen in the above picture raising the city of Seattle’s flag at the historic John A. Wilson Building, which serves as the seat for local government housing the Executive Offices of the Mayor, the Council of the District of Columbia, the Chief Financial Officer, the Office of the Attorney General, as well as other District agencies.
