Notes

The biggest win in the series (Portland 1:6 Seattle) was the inaugural Western Soccer Alliance match…Peter Hattrup scored for both sides (2/2)…Both Timbers coaches, Bernie Fagan and John Bain, had earlier played for Sounders and Seattle’s final coach, Stuart Lee, played for Timbers. Clive Charles, a longtime NASL Timbers player, served as FC Seattle coaching director in 1990…The nucleus of both teams was generally comprised of current and former players for Seattle Pacific, Washington, Portland and Warner Pacific, although many of the FCP/Timbers were Washington state natives…Kasey Keller played in one match, a 1-0 Portland win in 1989…The two largest crowds in the series (both over 6,000 in Seattle) both involved doubleheaders with Sounders-Timbers reunion games.
