The Seattle Stallions were founded in the summer of 2005 by owner and president Alex Lewis after spending the spring season as a tight end with the inaugural season of the independent South Sound Shockers under friend and former Pierce County Bengal teammate and assistant coach Stephen Matychowiak.  Lewis tabbed Merle Davis as the Stallions Head Coach and later Randall "Doc" Dressen was named Stallions General Manager. Dressen had been a longtime active administrator in the Northwest League with the Puget Sound Jets.  The staff assembled a who's-who of All-League performers from the previous season's 2005 NWFL season for the Spring of 2006 schedule.

In the spring of 2006 the Stallions played their inaugural season in the newly formed Pacific Northwest Football Conference where they ended the season with a perfect 10-0 record.  The finale was a defensive battle Seattle won 12-7 over the Shockers in claiming the PNFC Championship.  The Stallions as champions of the PNFC then went on to win the Cascade Cup Championship by defeating the Evergreen Football League's Tri Cities Knights 47-27 in Kennewick rallied by the game MVP performance of QB John Stewart.  It would be Stewart's only game as a Stallion, after being recruited from the Shockers following the PNFC title game, he returned to lead South Sound in 2007 before taking a college coaching job at Dakota State in Madison, South Dakota.   The Far West Football Assocation invited the Stallions to play a December championship against Arizona's Glendale Rangers in Las Vegas, however Seattle pulled out of the game.  Upset with a bylaw in the PNFC that kept players from earning all-conference honors due to the Stallions not submitting stats to the conference during the season, Seattle did not return to defend the title, instead joining the Northwest Football League which reportedly came with roster restrictions that frustrated team management and forced some players to join other teams in the NWFL such as the King County Jaguars, eventual league champions for 2007.

At the end of the 2006 season Davis stepped down as the Stallions Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator Deke Devers was named the new head coach as the Stallions began Northwest Football League play where they went 6-3 for the season, losing by just a single point to the Oregon Thunderbolts in the second round of the NWFL Playoffs, the second loss in back-to-back games against Oregon. 
 
2008 saw the return of Merle Davis to the head coaching position as Devers left to coach with the newly formed Puget Sound Titans.  Expectations were high following the signing of former PAC-10 running back Shelton Sampson, however the Stallions still could not get over the hump losing to the Titans twice and the Thunderbolts by 3-points in the playoffs finishing 7-3.
 
During the off-season, Lewis sold the Stallions to new owner and GM Randall Dressen who decided to take the Stallions out of the Northwest Football League and join the Cascade Football League where they found very little competition in the lower tier league during the regular season.
 
In the playoffs, a no show by the Stallions officiating crew caused a stir when the game was delayed an hour-and-a-half while replacement officials were rounded up and then the lights went out with over 8 minutes to play.  The Tacoma Warriors protested and demanded a replay of the game the following week then changed their minds on Friday the 7th opting to take the result of the game.  In the championship, all eyes were on the Stallions to win the crown, but the Renton Ravens stepped up and shocked the CFL with a 27-13 victory ending the Stallions perfect run and denying Seattle a second championship in four seasons.
 
As the 2010 season kicked off it looked like the Stallions and Ravens may be on another collision course for a CFL title, but a shakeup and eventual defection of teams from the CFL to the newly formed Western Washington Football Association sent the Stallions to their fourth league in five years.  The Ravens fell apart with the departure of players to the Tacoma Cobras and the Stallions went unopposed through the WWFA handily defeating the hapless Tacoma Invaders 57-0 in the title game for the Stallions first league championship since the 2006 PNFC title.
 
An invitation to Far West Football Association championship in Las Vegas came at the end of the season but the Stallions run for a championship in Vegas was halted when a brawl broke out between Seattle and the team from Summerlin, Nevada and officials called a halt to the game in the third quarter with Seattle leading the Bucs 23-6.  According to FWFA organizer Dick Seuss, the game was called a "no-contest" due to the altercations.
 
Following the season, Dreesen announced that the Stallions would shut down operations for the 2011 season.

After a season "cooling" off, the Stallions returned for the 2012 season and promptly rolled to a 9-0 record in winning the Western Washington Football Alliance and setting up a GNFA Regional Championship showdown with Portland's 3x regional champion Monarchs (2008, 2009. 2010).  The Monarchs and Stallions engaged in an epic high-scoring shoot-out with the Monarchs outlasting Seattle 56-50 for the Stallions first loss on the season.

The Pacific Football League was expanded in 2013 and after starting out 3-0, the South King County Colts pulled off a shocking upset 32-30 over the Stallions in week four.  Seattle would win their next seven games before being knocked off in the PFL playoffs by the Bellingham Bulldogs 26-13 even though Seattle posted a 24-0 win over Bellingham a few weeks earlier.  Defensive legend Jackie Triplett accumulated 13 sacks on the season breaking the national minor league football career sack record and earned Greater Northwest Regional Player of the Year honors.

2014 was the Stallions "worst" season in franchise history, as they started the season 0-2. Another loss was sandwiched between six wins before the Colts picked off Seattle once again in the PFL playoffs 22-16.

Ignited by the way 2014 went, the Stallions came out swinging posting 60+ points in three of the first five games before the Portland Raiders, now revitalized by the former Monarch staff and players that won the 2012 GNFA Crown, notched a loss in the column in a 38-30 win over Seattle.  Regaining the offensive firepower and a stifling defense, the Stallions and Raiders would meet again in the PFL Championship, this time Seattle left no doubt winning the title 33-7 and avenging the lone loss.  The win also secured the GNFA Regional Championship for Seattle and an invite to play in Las Vegas, Nevada against the North Bay Rattlers, Northern California champions in the Far West Football Association championship.  Seattle added a third trophy to the case with a 23-9 victory and closing out a 10-1 season.  Quarterback Adam Kruse would be named the Greater Northwest Player of the Year.

The Stallions franchise closed down operations as champions after a decade of play posting a 71-11 overall record and having won 9 titles including 2 Greater Northwest Regional Championships as the best in the Northwest.  In 2022 it was announced by Mike Haggett, owner of the Snohomish County Thunder, he arranged to purchase the Stallions uniforms from Randall Dreesen and planned to created the Puget Sound Stallions, but the team never materialized.
