Maybe can give people from new Washington teams other locations an idea of how crazy fast things are growing in the Pacific Northwest. My first season with 1983 as rookies we went to Oregon and Las Vegas because there weren't many options nearby, and now there are 3 regionals in Washington state alone! Not to mention Oregon, which is still within driving distance from Seattle. It is impressive how much things have changed in just the 4 short years I was away for college.

Steph,
I agree with you!! When we first started the team I believe that we were the 18th team in the state of Washington.... Last year we sent that same number to St. Louis as qualifiers and participants... I totally remember when, at most, there were 5-6 Washington teams at CMP.... this year we had 8 teams that made it into the elimination rounds with two teams in the semi-finals on their fields...amazing work by Kevin Ross... and everyone else in Washington....By the way... we miss you.... even if you are our "remote" mentor from the east coast...
