Vancouver, Seattle and Portland. 3 cities, 2 countries, 1 common bond. It’s the bio-region known as Cascadia. Through the years and various leagues, the three teams from this bio-region have battled each other as if they were your traditional derby matches.
Since joining the MLS in 2009, Seattle has a history of winning. 4 US Open Cups, 2 Heritage Cups, Cascadia Cups, 1 Supporters Shield and 1 MLS Cup and have, up until the introduction of Atlanta United, held MLS attendance records.
Vancouver followed suit in 2011, starting off at Empire Field while BC Place was renovated.
