NFL team season
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.
Safety Kenny Easley playing against the Washington Redskins in Week 4 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 .
