The Seahawks' 12s chip in to fix Pioneer Square pergola

Repairs to Seattle's historic Pioneer Square pergola could begin next week after it was damaged by exuberant fans celebrating the Seahawks' Super Bowl win.

The big picture: The pergola — built in 1909 — is a frequent victim of Seattle celebrations because of its scalability and location in the heart of one of the cities' street party spaces.

• Police asked people to stay off the pergola after the win, but it didn't work.

State of play: An estimated $12,000 to $17,000 of damage was done to dozens of the pergola's glass roof panels, Seattle Parks and Recreation spokesperson Christina Hirsch told Axios.

• Money for the repairs was raised within days after the Seattle Parks Foundation launched a fundraiser asking 12s to donate $12 or more to help cover repairs and support damaged public spaces.

Flashback:The historical landmark was built in 1909 to cover the stairwell entrance to a lavish underground public restroom — finished with Alaskan marble, brass fixtures and terrazzo floors — and to double as a shelter for streetcar passengers at Pioneer Place.
