Seattle's women's flat track roller derby league, Rat City Roller Derby, got its start in April 2004 as Rat City Rollergirls and quickly built a large local following. Rat City is a founding member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), and has achieved success on the WFTDA stage, qualifying for WFTDA Playoffs every season, including a second-place finish in the 2007 WFTDA Championships.

This poster advertises the first league home team championship in October 2005 at a former navy hangar in Magnuson Park. The Derby Liberation Front defeated the Throttle Rockets 52-32. The poster was drawn by local cartoonist Peter Bagge.
