Founded in 2001 as Seattle Sounders Women, the team was a sister organization of the men's team in the USL First Division. Following the men's team's departure for Major League Soccer, Mike Jennings, owner of the United Soccer League franchise Tacoma Tide, took over the Sounders Women's ownership. In 2011, Cliff McElroy and Lane Smith of Datec Inc. became majority owners, while Mike Jennings has maintained a minority stake.[1] In January 2020, Seattle Sounders FC terminated its branding agreement, leading to an affiliation and rebrand with Sound FC, a youth soccer club based in Woodinville, Washington.[2]

The team most notable for having signed five U.S. international players, Hope Solo, Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Sydney Leroux, and Stephanie Cox, following the collapse of the Women's Professional Soccer in 2012.[3]
