The Chinooks were lead by a pitching staff that included future major leaguers Bill Fleming and Rugger Ardizoia. Backing the , and a hard-hitting outfield of Wes Schulmerich, Jim Tyack and George Mandish, they finished the year with a 68-65 record, good enough for second place behind the Yakima Pippins

Following the 1983 season, Bob and Margaret Bavais purchased the struggling Walla Walla based Blue Mountain Bears. Antiquated facilities compounded by dwindling attendance in Walla Walla prompted the new owners to move the franchise. The Bavasis, who had secured affiliation with the San Francisco Giants, ultimately selected Everett as the relocation destination.

In their inaugural campaign, Everett went 36-38. The Giants, in their sophomore season, finished the year at 40-34 to claim the Washington division title. The Giants defeated the Eugene Emeralds to claim the Northwest League Championship. Rounding out the honors of 1985, owner Bob Bavasi was awarded the league's executive of the year. Two years later the Giants won their second division title. Facing the Spokane in the championship series, Everett would fall to the Indians. The Giants sought to build upon their success in 1987. With a record of the 42-34, Everett tied Spokane atop the division standings. Under league tie-breaker rule the Indians were declared division winners.

Entering the new decade, the Giants struggled on the field. With the exception of 1993 when the club went 42-34 in a second place division finish, the Giants failed to post a winning record. The club would continue their affiliation with San Francisco through the 1994 season. At the culmination of the season Everett signed a player development contract with the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners, who had been affiliated with Bellingham, essentially swapped with San Francisco as the Giants signed on with Bellingham. Upon affiliating with Seattle the franchise selected a new team name; the Everett AquaSox.
