The King County Jaguars are a semi-professional football team located in Kent, Washington and founded in 1999.

[edit] History
Jaguar Owner and Head Coach, Jeff Scott began his Northwest Football League (NWFL) career as the defensive coordinator for the former NWFL team the Seattle Blue Devils, a position he held from 1996-1999. Prior to the 1999 season Scott became involved in negotiations to purchase the Seattle Blue Devils, but an agreement was not reached and Scott left the Seattle Blue Devils and formed the King County Jaguars.
In 2005 Jaguar Owner Scott brought general manager and CPA Lorrie Rarey on board to manage the team, the finances and its skilled supporting staff. Meanwhile Coach Scott compiled a team of football players with outstanding ability, and a coaching staff with years of football experience. This nucleus of combined talent produced the greatest team in King County Jaguar history.
After winning the NWFL Championship 21 to 6 over the West Sound Saints, the 2005 King County Jaguar team advanced to the North American Football League (NAFL) Championship game at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex in Orlando, Florida, where they competed against the Central Pennsylvania Piranha (three time NAFL Champions). The Jaguars advanced to the championship by defeating two undefeated teams: the Dallas Diesel 27-24 at French Field in Kent, WA, and the Arkansas Rhinos 55-22 at Sunset Chevrolet Stadium in Sumner, WA. The King County Jaguars ended their 2005 season as the #1 AAA Ranked Western Regional Summer/Fall Semi-Professional football team (2005 Minor League Football News Poll).
In 2006 the King County Jaguars defended their 2005 NWFL title, again defeating the West Sound Saints of Silverdale, WA 14-7 in the NWFL Championship game. The 2006 King County Jaguars became members of the Minor League Football Association (MLFA West). The Jaguars played for the MLFA West National Championship against the Bay Tickets Inc. 49ers on October 14th at Golden Gate Park's historic Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, CA. In 2006, the Jaguars were also the champions of the Kent Cornucopia Bowl.
