After the disastrous invasion of Seattle in the Fall of 1989, the Soviet Union expanded its forces into the surrounding countryside of Washington. In their efforts to expand their territories, they moved quickly to seize several key towns and positions to strengthen their control in the state, setting up local command and communications outposts in local civilian centers. Among the many towns seized during the invasion was Clearwater Creek near the Rocky Mountains. Like many other towns surrounding the Seattle metropolitan area, Clearwater Creek became a key outpost of the Soviet defensive perimeter surrounding the city, with its population forced to submit to Soviet control.

  • After the disastrous invasion of Seattle in the Fall of 1989, the Soviet Union expanded its forces into the surrounding countryside of Washington. In their efforts to expand their territories, they moved quickly to seize several key towns and positions to strengthen their control in the state, setting up local command and communications outposts in local civilian centers. Among the many towns seized during the invasion was Clearwater Creek near the Rocky Mountains. Like many other towns surrounding the Seattle metropolitan area, Clearwater Creek became a key outpost of the Soviet defensive perimeter surrounding the city, with its population forced to submit to Soviet control. After their pyrrhic victory in the nuclear destruction of Cascade Falls, the U.S. learned that the People's Republic of China had aligned itself with the Soviet Union and declared war on the United States. Its first act in supporting the Russians was to send a massive armada of warships to reinforce the Soviet beachhead in Seattle, which would grant the Soviets uncontested control of the occupied zone. Unable to dedicate the rest of the U.S. Army in Western Europe to fight the Chinese, the President ordered all surviving battalions in Washington to liberate the city at all costs, or it would be destroyed in a defensive nuclear strike. Realizing what was at stake, all U.S. Army units in Washington rallied to save Seattle from the fate suffered by Cascade Falls. The Americans, led by hardened Colonel Jeremiah Sawyer, determined that the weakest garrison stationed on the Soviet defensive perimeter was that stationed at Clearwater Creek, and that disabling its combat capabilities would allow them a path directly towards Seattle. The Americans rallied their forces and immediately launched the attack.
