Bruce Crampton was the only multiple winner, with victories at both venues; the only playoff was in 1994, won by Simon Hobday with a birdie on the third extra hole to defeat Jim Albus.[3] The purse for the final edition in 1995 was $600,000, with a winner's share of $90,000,[4] which was at the low end of the scale. The sponsors opted not to renew for 1996 and the event was discontinued.[5]

The senior tour returned to the Seattle area in 2005 with the Boeing Classic at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge in Snoqualmie.
