, two while in college. In 1984, F.C. Seattle was born out of the collapse of the NASL. It was a collection of ex-NASL players, local amateurs and college players, such as Hattrup, who were looking for more than local rec league soccer. While F.C. Seattle played games against professional clubs, its independent nature allowed Hattrup to retain his amateur NCAA eligibility.
After finishing his time with Seattle Pacific, Hattrup began a professional career which would take him through numerous leagues and almost a dozen teams. First, he became a full professional with F.C. Seattle, now renamed the Seattle Storm, for the 1986 Western Soccer Alliance season.
In 1988 he scored 6 goals and added an assist, leading to his selection for the league's All Star team. He also won his first professional championship that year when Seattle defeated the San Jose Earthquakes

Despite being a new franchise, the Attack made it to the AISA semifinals, before falling to the Dayton Dynamo
2 games to 1. Hattrup made the AISA All Star Team, having ended the season third on the point list. The next year, the Attack joined the National Professional Soccer League and again lost to the Dynamo, this time in the first round of the playoffs. At the end of the 1990-1991 season, the Attack moved from Atlanta to Kansas City, where Hattrup played two more seasons with the team, 1991–1992 and 1992–1993.

moved Hattrup to the wide midfield. As Hattrup noted, "The strange thing is he told me he wanted me to come and score goals. In the middle of midfield that's fine. But in the 3-5-2, to be honest, I don't have the engine. I'm not going to be able to go to the penalty box for the whole game."http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4196/is_19980425/ai_n10412312
