The televised game showed clips of the game the following day on NBC King 5 after the Super Bowl. In their first season in PDL competition the Wolves fielded a strong squad that included former Los Angeles Galaxy player Ely Allen. They won their first ever competitive PDL game 4–1 over the Yakima Reds on May 8, 2009, off the back of a brace by Fernando Monge, and continued their winning form throughout the early games, picking up victories over Spokane Spiders and the Portland Timbers U23's. Despite strong opposition in the ultra-competitive Northwest Division the Wolves proved to be one of the best teams in the division; they enjoyed an excellent 5-game unbeaten streak in June, coming from behind to beat Vancouver Whitecaps Residency 2–1, enjoying solid victories over Yakima and the Abbotsford Mariners, and scoring a controversial last minute penalty kick equalizer to tie 2–2 with Tacoma Tide. In fact the only team Seattle couldn't beat were the Kitsap Pumas, who won both their regular season games on tight 2–1 and 2–0 scorelines, and ended up topping the division. The Wolves gained a crucial point with another last minute equalizer in a 3–3 tie with the Victoria Highlanders in early July, and finished the regular season with three more victories, including an impressive 3–0 result on the road against Cascade Surge. The Wolves eventually finished third in the division, qualifying for the playoffs at the first attempt; their opponent in the Divisional First round was Portland Timbers U23's, who they beat 3–2 in an amazing game which saw Portland lead 1–0, and then 2–1, only for Seattle striker Alex Chursky to hit two goals in the last ten minutes and send the Wolves through to the divisional final.

Casey Cunningham and Ely Allen were the Wolves' top scorers, with 7 and 6 goals respectively, while Allen also contributed six assists.
