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. 

According to a Spokane newspaper article, Joe Brown forfeited the franchise and liquidated after attempting to fire head coach Henry Carsberg.  The players mutinied against Brown and refused to play Seattle.  Carsberg then led a co-op which played out the Lions' schedule as the Edmonds Chargers without Brown at the helm.

Finishing 2-6, the Chargers were disbanded and players likely surfaced with the West Seattle Warhawks.
