Show WASHINGTON'S POPULATION. I Between 1880 and 1890, the state of Washington had a most remarkable development. It was in that decade that Seattle went I forward so rapidly and the "Sound" country received a great in- f flux of the population from the east, giving promise of outclassing the San Franeisen bay r-gion in importance. But the last census indicates a slowing down of Seattle and neighboring cities, ns Washington has increased only 18.8 per cent 1 in the past ten years as compared with 375 per cent in the decade j ending 1890. |
