History
2005–2009
In 2005 the teams played 42 games. For the 2007 season, this was the first year that the WCL started to use divisions. They separated the league into 2 divisions, called the East and West based on their geographical location. The playoffs worked in an odd way. The top 2 teams in the standings at the end of the season would playoff a best 2 out of 3 in both divisions. Then, the winners of the sets would playoff in the championship series, also a best 2 out of 3. and in 2009 it expanded the schedule to 48 games, at the same time going to an unbalanced schedule.

2013
In the 2013 season the league changed from an East/West division format to a North/South division format because of further league expansion, of the Victoria HarbourCats,[5] and the Medford Rogues,[5] which brought the number of teams to 11. Also, in 2013 records were set and matched. Walla Walla Sweets pitcher Sean-Luke Brija matched the league record in saves, with 13 outstanding saves in the 2013 season. It was the first year an expansion team, in their first year, made the playoffs. The Medford Rogues made the playoffs by a tie, and winning their last 3 regular season games but, they lost their Cinderella Story season to the Corvallis Knights, beating them 2 games to nothing in the South Division playoffs. Also, the other expansion team, the Canadian Victoria HarbourCats, set a single game and All-star game attendance record of 4,210 in viewing. Finally, history was made in Kitsap after the last out of the top of the ninth when Spenser Watkins threw a spectacular perfect game, the first in West Coast League history.

2014
In 2014 the Yakima Valley Pippins came on board, giving the WCL their twelfth team. Also, in the 2014 year, because of the expansion of Yakima, the WCL restructured their league format for the 4th time in its history, moving to a 3-division format, with East, West, and South Divisions.[23][24] The playoff format adopted was similar to the MLB format, with only one wild card instead of two. The teams are shown in their respective geographical division in the Team Table below.
The play-off race came down to the last 2 days of league play with a race between Bend and Wenatchee for the first WCL Wild-card spot. Bend edged Wenatchee by just 1 game, causing Wenatchee to miss the playoffs for the first time.

Kitsap Bluejackets | Matt Cartwright |
Victoria Harbourcats | Graig Merritt |
Walla Walla Sweets | Frunk Mutz |
Wenatchee Applesox | AJ Proszek |
Cowlitz Black Bears | Grady Tweit |
Bend Elks | Trey Watt |
The news of the changes between the old and new coaches happened throughout the off-season. Many went to high schools and colleges around the pacific northwest. As were some went to pursue other career paths.
Also, during the off-season the WCL announced that the previous 3-man umpire rule has been removed. The reason why this occurred is because of difficult regulations.
In 2015 the West Coast League saw its fifth league champion, the Bend Elks. The year was full of upsets as the standing nearly flipped of years past expectations and rhythm of Corvallis and Wenatchee leading their respective divisions. The teams that went on to playoffs were Kelowna, Bellingham, and Bend with Corvallis making it in on the league's wild card spot.
