I have been reading a lot but still have not found my answer.  If someone can answer, or direct me to the appropriate thread, that would be great...

Is US Club, and PSPL, primarily for whole clubs to switch over to, or is it more for some of a club's teams to switch over on an individual basis?  Are there many clubs that are "all in" and all of their teams play PSPL.  And/or are some clubs selectively picking some teams to play PSPL while leaving others in regular state/district leagues?

thanks

U.S. Club in WA is a fairly recently established real new option for teams to choose from.  I don't see a real need for a club to choose one or the other unless they feel overly restricted by the boundaries that come with WA State leagues and associations.

I think that U.S. Club is a nice new option or choice to choose from for teams.  Just decide on the amount of travel you desire and look at what the recent past competition level has been in both WA or OR state, or U.S. club and choose what you believe the best "fit" would be for your team.

Remember that you can't play in a WA State associated cup if you don't play in a qualifying WA State league.  If you don't really care about that then both can be great options if they fit your needs.

Based upon the number of teams entered into Sub-RCL WA State leagues at the GU-13 level, there may not be much GU-14 WA State teams to play outside of the RCL.  The soon to be WA State BU-14 leagues are not much better unless the recent past is not a good indicator of the future.

I have personally found that the flexibility provided by U.S. Club in player movement and league scheduling to be easier than recent WA State processes, but I think WA is working on it...

Options and competition can be good....

some clubs are dualy registered with both so they can compete in just about all tournaments.  You'll find that the bigger clubs do this.
