The franchise was originally going to play in Wasilla, Alaska as the Arctic Predators, but complications between the ownership and the would-be head coach led to difficulty in obtaining a lease, so the IFL and the Arctic Predators split ways.[2] However, the A-Preds did not fold immediately; they played that season in the American Indoor Football Association.
On January 10, 2011, the Kent Predators were sold to Jeffery Scott,[3] who hired new head coach Keith Evans, just two days later.[4] On April 13, the team was sold again, this time to Tom Dowling, changed the team's name to the Seattle Timberwovles while naming Mike Berry the team general manager, and Sean Ponder the team's new head coach.[5]
On October 18, 2011, it was announced that the Timberwolves were moving to Everett, adopting the new Everett Raptors identity.[6]
The Raptors were the second indoor football team to play in Everett, following the Everett Hawks of the National Indoor Football League and later the af2 which played from 2005 until 2007. A team called the Everett Destroyers was proposed for the IFL's inaugural 2009 season, but folded before ever playing a single down.
On July 30, 2012, the parent company, Northwest Pro Sports LLC, filed For Bankruptcy. The Everett Raptors are now out of IFL and did not play 2012-2013.[7]
