History

[edit]

EPLWA was founded in 2013 and began accepting clubs in August of that year, beginning with Bellingham United transferring from thePacific Coast Soccer League as the league's founding member.[1] The league adopted its current logo, a silhouetted soccer player over a map ofWashington, in September 2013.[2] On May 16, 2014, three weeks into the league's inaugural season, EPLWA was recognized as an "Elite Amateur League" affiliated with theUnited States Adult Soccer Association.[3]

The inaugural season was won by theSpokane Shadow.[4][5] The Shadow went on to win the second season with only a single defeat in their 13 matches, finishing with 32 points.[6][7]

Everett Jets FC was announced as the league's 12th team in 2020.[8]

On November 15th 2025, it was announced that former EPLWA clubFC Olympia, who now play inUSL 2, will field a reserve team, both mens and womens.[9]

In 2025, the EPLWA debuted theEPLWA Championship Division as a lower-tier competition. The division is a staging ground for teams looking to eventually join the main Premier Division. Later that year, EPLWA introduced the EPLWA Premier Womens, a new elite semi-professional womens league. Teams are still pending.[10] On December 19th, 2025, Port Orchard FC announced that the team was planning on switching leagues from Cascadia Premier League, for the 2026 season. In 2022, Port Orchard FC won the 2nd Division of the Cascadia Premier League, gaining promotion to the top division of the Cascadia Premier League, and they have won numerous CPL championships, gaining recognition, thus making Port Orchard a top contender to join EPLWA.
