In November 1889, Washington - 70,000 square miles brimming with timber, coal, salmon, and rich farmland - became the nation's 42nd state. In a sequel to Washington Territory' (WSU Press, 2002), Robert E. Ficken relates how the turbulent inaugural decade laid foundations for the state's infrastructure and a new century's commercial and social development.
