EXPANSION: Where else should the EPLWA be?

What are your thoughts on expanding the EPLWA throughout the
region?
Do you think it should stay just within the state borders?
Which towns could support clubs with both owners, fans, and a
source of quality players?

What about these two hidden gems?"
Moses Lake
Ellensburg
MoLake because it is a growing area and between Spokane and
Wenatchee...and Ellensburg because they don't have a men's
soccer program at Central. Or, is that a drawback?
MoLake could play at the HS. Good venue.

Just the fact that we are talking about expanding the league is
a positive sign for a two-year-old league. As someone who lives
on the east side of the state, I'm obviously biased to having
more teams on this side of the Cascades, but expansion needs to
occur slowly and the next team needs to go in such a location
that it doesn't siphon players from squads already in the
league. I think a team from the Tri-Cities would fit that bill.
So would a team like Pinnacles FC (Penticton, BC). Oregon also
fits that description, but would that entail changing the name
of the league (EPLNW?)
Thanks for this forum.
Sebastian.

Moses Lake is growing indeed and I'm a huge fan of the Blue
Heron City. However, the Wenatchee team relies on an influx of
Quincy players nowadays. Would a Moses Lake team starting result
in a weaker existing franchise? Someone else mentioned Walla
Walla, that's another good spot. Of course, it's far, but so is
Spokane from Vancouver and the teams played each other last
year, twice.
