The Kirkland Bulldogs, following a 9-2 finish in 1971 changed their name to the Eastside Bulldogs in 1972, and again changed in 1973 to the Seattle Bulldogs since their practices and most of their membership was from Seattle.  They were getting a reputation as a "gypsy" team with no true home base of operations.
 
Wiley "The Toe" Duckett, Mike Ruddell, and Clarence Coleman were Port Angeles teammates playing in 1964 now playing with the Bulldogs.
 
Steve Waily, Chris Anderson and Paul Plushke (Lake Washington grads), and Sammamish's Steve Wainwright were former KingCo League high school stars on the Bulldogs.
 
After opening the 1971 season with a one-point loss to the BC Chargers, Kirkland and the Chargers battled back and forth all season for the top spot until a 3rd and final showdown in the second-to-last week of the season.  Kirkland took a 3-0 victory and the top spot on a 20-yard field goal from Gary Harmon.  Ron Mackie missed three for BC from 24, 30 and 35 yards as the Bulldogs claimed the inaugural Northwest International League Championship.
 
Following the 1974 season the team became known as the Seattle Titans.
