We play 15+ games in March - August, and our home venue is Seattle Memorial Stadium, under the Space Needle. As we work to build an outstanding ultimate program, we carry with us a set of core values: integrity, community, and athletic excellence.
The name "Seattle Cascades" refers to the Cascade Mountain Range which runs through Washington State. The 2014 "Seattle Raptors" name will be retired.
We look forward to seeing you on the field, cheering with you in the stands, and building an excellent organization that will contribute to the growth of ultimate.
