The Concacaf Champions League was founded in 1962 and represents the biggest club competition for teams in the region, similar to how the UEFA Champions League works for the elite clubs in Europe.
Safe to say both of these teams will be facing a ton of pressure.
Seattle, founded in 2007, has never made it this far in the tournament. On top of that, a Major League Soccer team has not won the final since 2000, when the Los Angeles Galaxy took home the prize.
