WR Steve Largent DE Jacob Green LB Fredd Young KR/PR Bobby Joe Edmonds | AP All-pros = RB Curt Warner (2nd team) KR/PR Bobby Joe Edmonds (1st team) The 1986 Seattle Seahawks season was the team's eleventh in the National Football League (NFL). Despite posting a 10–6 record and having a dominant five-game win streak to close out the season, the Seahawks narrowly missed the playoffs, losing the tiebreakers with both AFC wild card teams.
Prior to this season, the team moved its Kirkland headquarters a mile east, from the former shipyard on the shore of Lake Washington to a new facility at Northwest College. Summer training camp was held at the new site rather than at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, southwest of Spokane.
