The United States completed its second transcontinental railroad in 1883, fulfilling its Manifest Destiny and shuttling more people to explore opportunities on the West Coast. Washington saw a population surge in the late 1800s as Americans arrived by the trainful, and as the territory became the “gateway to the gold fields” during the Klondike Gold Rush. Washington, the only state named after a U.S. president, gained its statehood in 1889.
Today, the left-leaning state is home to more than 7 million people, and the population is expected to hit nearly 9 million by 2040.
The Evergreen State is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream with its geological diversity, ranging from mountains to deserts, rainforests and a Pacific coastline. It offers the Olympic Mountains, the San Juan Islands and the nation’s highest peak in the Lower 48 at Mount Rainier.
