1997: Bob Whitsitt, president of Football Northwest, signs the paperwork to complete Paul Allen’s purchase of the Seahawks.

2001: Scott Fitterer is named an area scout. He was promoted to director of college scouting in 2010. In his current role, Fitterer has been involved in the NFL Drafts that have reshaped the Seahawks’ roster — beginning with the selections of All-Pro free safety Earl Thomas, Pro Bowl left tackle Russell Okung, split end Golden Tate and strong safety Kam Chancellor in 2010; All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman and linebackers K.J. Wright and Malcolm Smith in 2011; and quarterback Russell Wilson, middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, defensive end Bruce Irvin and guard J.R. Sweezy in 2012.

The way Bobby Wagner played last season, it was hard to believe the Seahawks’ middle linebacker was only a rookie.

He not only led the team with 140 tackles, Wagner’s total was the fifth-highest in franchise history behind Terry Beeson (153 in 1978), Chad Brown (150 in 1998), Anthony Simmons (147 in 2000) and Michael Jackson (141 in 1981). Wagner also finished second in voting for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

The way Wagner approached this offseason – with a lead-by-example commitment to getting better – it’s hard to believe he’s only 23. And just barely, as today is Wagner’s 23^rd birthday.

“Bobby has put the work in,” defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said. “He’s doing the things when no one is watching – studying video, putting in the extra work in the weight room and the meeting room.”

So on Wagner’s birthday it turns out that he might be the gift of a second-round draft choice who just keeps on giving.

Speaking of gifts …

2002: Cornerback Ike Charlton, a second-round draft choice in 2000, is traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a seventh-round pick in the 2003 draft that the Seahawks used to select Josh Brown. The kicker from Nebraska would score 100-plus points for five seasons before signing with the St. Louis Rams in free agency.

The Seahawks have asked a lot of their fans over the franchise’s first 37 seasons, and it usually had to do with being very, very loud on game days. Now, they’re offering a lot to 12 fans.

Club president Peter McLoughlin has announced the formation of a “President’s Fan Advisory Council,” and the group of season-ticket holders will assist team executives in the evaluation and enhancement of the overall fan experience.

As McLoughlin put it in announcing the plan, “The Fan Advisory Council will play an important role in our efforts to maintain and enhance the Seahawks fan experience. We will hold quarterly meetings to discuss and focus on a variety of fan related issues including: in-stadium fan experience, game preparation and in-stadium technology.”

Applications for the two-year term on the council are due by July 12, and season ticket holders can apply here.
