History
The club was founded in 2023 by Jessica Pierce ahead of the 2024 season. The team is based in the West Seattle neighborhood and would play its home matches in the Nino Cantu Southwest Athletics Complex.[5]
West Seattle Junction FC played their first match on May 19th, 2024, tying 2-2 versus Capital FC from Salem, Oregon.[6] On their second-to-last match of the season, the team held Román Torres Foundation Night, where the former Seattle Sounders legend was in attendance, signing autographs and selling his book.[7] The match ended in a 2-2 draw versus Midlakes United.[8] West Seattle Junction FC finished their first season in 5th place in the Northwest Division and did not qualify for the playoffs.
The club started the 2025 season on a cold streak as they went winless throughout their first 10 matches. Despite the slow start, they won their last 4 matches of the season, which placed them 6th in the Northwest Division to end the 2025 season.[9] The team held a community art event on their June 22nd match versus Tacoma Stars FC to highlight local artists.[10] They additionally had a merchandise line drop at the match, which included merch inspired by well-known West Seattle muralist Desmond Hansen. The match ended in a 0-0 draw.[11] The club's final home match was a thriller as West Seattle Junction FC came back from a 0-3 deficit at halftime to win 4-3 against Bigfoot FC.[12]
