After the folding of the Seattle Titans and Snohomish County Ramblers, a majority of the players joined the newly formed Lynnwood-Edmonds Lions.  After playing in the League Jamboree, the team went out to Spokane and was demolished 59-0 in front of a crowd of 9,000.  By Sept 1, newspapers were reporting the teams name to be the Edmonds Chargers, an apparent early season switch from the Lynnwood-Edmonds Lions.  Finishing 2-6, the Chargers were disbanded and players likely surfaced with the West Seattle Warhawks.
