The first Cascadia Cup match of the year has the Seattle Sounders traveling north to face the Vancouver Whitecaps. The Sounders won two of their three games against the Whitecaps last year, winning one at home and on the road and lost the first encounter of 2016 on some dubious penalty calls at the CLink.
Seattle is coming off a 1-1 draw against the San Jose Earthquakes after Chris Wondolowski's 90th minute goal. Vancouver was whited out 3-0 by Real Salt Lake in a snow storm. Seattle is currently in seventh place in the West, while Vancouver is in tenth.
