Snohomish United is an American soccer club based in Snohomish, Washington, in the Seattle metropolitan area. They plan to field a semi-professional men's team in the Northwest Division of USL League Two in 2025.

History

Snohomish Youth Soccer was founded in the 1970s to organize youth soccer competitions in Snohomish County and began to field a premier boy's team named Snohomish United in 1989.[1][2] The organization also hosts several annual soccer tournaments, including the Snohomish United Invitational, Kla Ha Ya Days Adult Tournament, and Bigfoot Tournament for hundreds of youth teams.[3][4] Snohomish United later became affiliated with the Elite Clubs National League.[5]

On November 7, 2024, USL announced that Snohomish United would field a USL League Two club beginning in the 2025 season. The men's team would play in the Northwest Division alongside other local clubs in Washington and Oregon.[1][5] Snohomish United also announced plans to add bleacher seating at its existing youth soccer complex, Stocker Fields near downtown Snohomish.[6]
