1989 Seattle Seahawks season

The 1989 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's 14th season with the National Football League (NFL). The season marked the end of an era for the team, as the last remaining original Seahawk, longtime wide receiver Steve Largent, retired after playing 14 seasons in the league, all with the Seahawks. At the time of his retirement, he was the NFL's all-time reception leader.
