Soviet paratroopers being deployed over Pine Valley

After Seattle was invaded by the Soviet Union in 1989, the Soviets expanded their presence across Washington and forced all surviving units of the Washington National Guard to retreat into the countryside. After several days of fighting, the Soviets launched an airdrop of paratroopers over Pine Valley in an attempt to expand southward. They quickly captured the town and forced the local population to flee. The U.S. Army selected Pine Valley as the site for their counterattack, which was aimed at isolating the Russians to the Seattle metropolitan area.

Several companies led by Colonel Jeremiah Sawyer launched the assault on Pine Valley, with Colonel Wilkins of the Oregon National Guard providing reinforcements. This culminated in the Battle of Pine Valley. The battle destroyed much of the town, including its supermarket and the church. The Soviets forced the Americans on the defensive, and were only defeated after the USS Missouri intervened and bombarded the town from the bay area. The battle was a victory for the U.S. and forced the Soviets to delay their advance in Washington. However, over half of Pine Valley was left in ruins.[1]
