Keep. Has received
coverage in a major newspaper and seems to have been played since 1922 (with over a hundred meetings). SounderBruce 07:22, 30 December 2017 (UTC)reply
Comment. Would like to see a bit more coverage, but the Seattle newspapers from the 1920s to 1990s are not readily available on-line. Hopefully, someone has access and can check those sources. As far as the usual objective indicia of rivalries, several are present here: (i) geographic proximity of the schools (this is an intra-state rivalry between schools located 190 miles apart); (ii) the existence of a trophy (the Cascade Cup); (iii) the existence of an official name for the series (Battle in Seattle); (iv) long history dating back to 1922; and (v) frequency of play (over 100 games played on an annual basis, with a timeout for WWII, for almost 90 years).

UW Dawgs: It appears this AfD was premised on the belief that only one game had been played. Given the fact that the series was played > 100 times, would you consider withdrawing this one?

Keep. Nomination was made on erroneous assumption: "Only one game played in 'rivalry' per article." In fact, this rivalry game was played > 100 times. Also, the series satisfies
WP:GNG with significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources -- see sources in article and those found by WikiOriginal-9. Finally, and as noted above, the series satisfies objective criteria of a rivalry.
