Under the leadership of head coach William McCarthy, the team played their home games at the ShoWare Center in Kent, Washington.

The franchise was originally going to play in Wasilla, Alaska as the Arctic Predators, but complications between the ownership and the would-be head coach led to difficulty in obtaining a lease, so the IFL and the Arctic Predators split ways. [1]
