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 a Rat City Rollergirls roller derby street race and fund raiser party to be held on Saturday, September 25, 2004, at Pacific Rim Brewing in White Center, Washington. The poster was drawn by local cartoonist Pat Moriarity, a former art director at Fantagraphics and The Comics Journal.
