Mission Statement
A diverse collective of supporters east of the Cascades connecting Sounders FC fans & building community through soccer.
Who We Are
Dry Side Supporters (DSS) is a subgroup of ECS representing the sunnier side of Washington. Our purpose is to connect Sounders FC fans across the expansive Columbia River Basin. We hope to build a network of support throughout central and eastern Washington so fans, no matter where they may be, can find a home amongst Sounders faithful. We celebrate the diversity of our membership and embrace the local communities we each call home. We support with all of our energy because not even the highest peaks of the Cascades can dull our passion for Sounders FC.
What We Do
We love our boys in famous green! So we get together at our home bars for every match to drink, sing, get rowdy, and celebrate another Sounders victory. With open arms and cold beers, we welcome all Sounders supporters that wish to join us in revelry and do our best to keep them coming back.
We help to connect Sounders supporters throughout our region to organize and gather together. We know that our numbers aren’t sparse, we are however, spread out. Uniting Dry Siders together to strengthen support across the state is fundamental to our growth and will always remain a part of what we do. Soon Sounders across all of Washington will see one another and speak the words “you can always count on me.”
We named ourselves the Dry Side Supporters, because of the rain shadow that gives us over 300 sunny days and only 8 inches of precipitation per year. We decided to become a communications hub for our entire region, connecting supporters in cities across eastern Washington. We chose to seek out the fans and the Sounders faithful in our communities so that we could all unite as Dry Siders.
