The following is a release from the King County Sheriff’s Office:
King County Sheriff John Urquhart has made a friendly wager on Super Bowl XLIX with Sheriff Steven W. Tompkins of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department in Boston, Mass.
If the New England Patriots lose, Tompkins will be sending a dozen lobster tail pastries from Luberto’s Bakery in Revere, Mass. to the King County Courthouse.
“The King County Sheriff’s Office is one of the finest law enforcement agencies in the country and the Seahawks are a solid team,” Tompkins said. “The Lombardi Cup is coming back to New England in nine days.”
In return, Urquhart has wagered a selection of cupcakes from Seattle’s own Cupcake Royale along with made-in-Seattle Sea-Salt Truffles from Fran’s Chocolates, a favorite of President Barack Obama.
“The Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department and the New England Patriots may have a strong history, but the Seahawks and the 12th Man have destiny on their side. No fan of the Seahawks will ever lose faith in our team’s ability to win the big game,” Urquhart said.
