Seattle was not included

In a June 14, 1994 announcement, Seattle was not included among the first seven cities to be awarded an MLS team.[1] Five more teams were to be announced later in the year, and to improve their chances, Seattle MLS organizers began working with the University of Washington to secure use of Husky Stadium as an interim stadium while they pursued the construction of a permanent soccer-specific facility.[6] In November 1994, the start of the first MLS season was postponed until 1996, and it was noted that the absence of an "adequate grass-field facility" in the area and the presence of the new APSL Seattle Sounders team had thwarted Seattle's MLS bid.[7] In the end, Seattle was not among the cities chosen to establish a team during the first season of the MLS.[8]
