The Orcas kicked off an independent schedule in 2000 and hosted all seven games going 4-3 against the Northwest League competition with the three losses coming by a total of 12 points.
 
High hopes abounded for 2001 but King County had other plans which involved not being caught by surprise this year as they had been in a 24-18 loss in the Orcas first-ever game.  Five straight losses to open the season had the team reeling but they gathered themselves to go 4-4 the rest of the way.
 
In 2002, Steve McDaniels was named new head coach and led the team to a .500 season.  Kevin Shearer booted a 47-yd FG to lift the Orcas over the Panthers.
 
2003 was another stumble out of the gate before the Orcas went on a five game winning streak, losing the finale to the Bucs.
 
In 2004 a new ownership group came in and renamed the team the "Saints".  Longtime Puget Sound Jet brass Ken Austin and Randy Dreessen joined the staff and used their experience to turn the team around bringing with them a large number of Eastside Hawks players Austin had coached the prior season, but also according to McDaniel, they brought "turmoil" to the team.  The results on the field were undeniable as the Saints reached the playoffs and NWFL Championship game for the first time in team history losing to the Hawks 24-7.  The NAFL would invite the Saints to their "consolation" playoffs known as NAFL2.  The visiting Houston Sharks were beaten in Bremerton and later in November, the Saints defeated the Maryland Marauders for the NAFL2 Championship.
 
Austin departed prior to the 2005 season, but the Saints continued their winning ways with the Eastside Hawks also leaving the NWFL, one of their biggest nemesis'.  But, the Hawks were replaced with the King County Jaguars and West Sound lost to them twice including the NWFL Championship.
 
A 6-3 Saints team would again fall short in a third-straight NWFL Championship game in 2006.  A number of players who made the team a contender in '04 and '05 departed for other teams.
 
A highly touted Saints group looked to finally get over the hump and win that elusive NWFL Championship and West Sound got an early start scheduling 2 non-league games early on to get their 70+ man roster more experience.  A convincing win over the Skagit Valley Lightning showed that Saints had the train rolling again, but that was quickly derailed by the South Sound Shockers who rolled into Bremerton and stifled the Saints offense.  The following week, reports of team implosion leaked out and the Cavaliers finally got their first win over West Sound in a lack luster 3-0 victory.  The season went downhill from there as defections plagued the team and they reverted back to a mid-level NWFL team finishing 4-8.
 
The Saints would leave the NWFL for the NAFL Northwest division in 2008.  The move was disastrous for the franchise as it suffered through it's worst season ever finishing 2-8 under John Corey.
 
Eddie Llamas, former player was announced as the 2009 head coach.  The downfall continued as the Saints could only muster a 1-5-1 record defeating the Jags in the opener and forcing a tie with the Mavericks when the overtime period was foregone due to hot tempers.  The Saints did not play a replacement game scheduled with the Renton Ravens, instead packing up the season and eventually the franchise.  The Orcas/Saints would finish a decade of play with a 58-50-2 overall record.

Many of the former Saints made their way to the Seattle Stallions and Kitsap County Bears.
