Women's soccer in Washington State grew and flourished from the 1970s through the 1990s, with the development of multiple high school and college programs, and women's leagues and clubs. The proliferation of women's soccer clubs gave women of all ages and abilities the opportunity to develop and compete.

Here, two over-50 women's soccer teams plays a game at night in heavy rain at Woodland Park. The ball has just splashed in ankle-deep water (at bottom, center) but the players are undeterred.
