The Seattle Warbirds were a women's professional American football team based in Seattle, Washington. They were founded by head coach Michael Stuart and general manager Joshua Creel in 2001 in the Women's American Football League.[1]
The Warbirds only played in the 2001 WAFL season, finishing 9–0–1 and winning the Pacific Northwest Division title before losing to the Arizona Caliente in the Pacific Conference semifinals.[2] The next season, most of the players left to form the Tacoma Majestics in the Independent Women's Football League (IWFL).[3] In 2006, the Warbirds merged with Tacoma to become the Seattle Majestics in the IWFL.[4][5]
Ten years later, the Warbirds announced they would return to play in the Women's Football Alliance (WFA) for the 2011 season.[6] However, the team would never play a game in the WFA.
