I've been torn as to which Cascadia squad to support since I used to live in Portland, but have spent much more time in Seattle in recent years. I have followed the Sounders since their addition to MLS, but this year Portland threw a wrench in the works...
I tried to fight it for a while, but I've set aside my affair with the Sounders and have become a full fledged member of Timbers Army.
The matches against Seattle this season sealed the deal. I went into them with an open mind, but it was obvious from the first Portland goal where my heart lied. I still like Seattle, and root for them against everyone else (perhaps the hatred will build in time), but the Timbers are my squad going forth.
I just bought my tickets for the match against Chivas USA next month, general admission, north end. Should be fun!
