Washington
The history of anti-Chinese
violence in the West repeats itself in Seattle and Tacoma, where vigilantes
expelled the cities' Chinese inhabitants both in 1855
and a generation later in 1885.
Both cities prospered with the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railroad
in the 1880's, and Seattle
boomed as the jumping-off point for the Alaska gold rush of the 1890's.
