Geoff Reece was the first Seahawk to wear 55. I can’t find any images of him in a Seahawks 55 jersey. He played for the Seahawks in 1977. A center from WSU.

Not to take anything away from the best 54 to wear a Seahawks jersey in Bobby Wagner, but continuing with the first to wear the number, I give you Art Kuehn. A center drafted in the 15th round of the 1975 draft by the the team formerly known as the Redskins. He was chosen by the Seahawks in the 1976 expansion draft.

Michael Jackson wasn’t the first Seahawk to wear #55 but he was the first Seahawk named Michael Jackson.

I remember reading an item in The Portland Press-Herald (from Portland, Maine - I lived in a small town about 25 miles south of there) about many fans of the pop star Michael Jackson showing up at a hospital when it was announced that the Seahawks player Michael Jackson had been admitted to the hospital.
