WHAT: Number 12 (not, technically, "12th man") flag hoisting on Weyerhaeuser Corporate Headquarters. WHEN: 12:15 p.m., Wednesday, February 1, 2006 WHERE: Weyerhaeuser Company Headquarters, 33663 Weyerhaeuser Way South Federal Way, Wash. WHO: A lucky Weyerhaeuser employee will hoist the "12" flag on one of the most visible flagpoles in Washington. Weyerhaeuser employees chipped in to buy the flag, with all additional proceeds going to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. The lucky winner will be joined by many of their Weyerhaeuser co-workers to do our bit for the 12th man efforts as the Seahawks head for the Superbowl.
