Will city? Some economists predict it. Facts seem to bear them out. The economists believe our real “foreign trade fu- ture” will be in Asia, instead of Europe. Easterners in the United States have a tendency to look upon the Pacifie coast primarily as a winter resort. They do not realize the industrial future of the district west of the Rockies, nor do they comprehend the tremendous industrial position already attained by the Pacific coast. Seattle, and the Northwest especially, are making huge strides in progress. ee eeoe Back in 1860 the Pacific coast produced only 30,- 000,000 dollars’ worth of manufactured goods a year Multiplying this by 100 would give you a figure still too scant to cover the value of the manufactured products today. Time when the growth of industry on the Pacific coast was dependent on the East. That day is past. We now have the money to finance ourselves. We have overcome, also, most of our fuel and power and transportation problems.

It shows that Seattle today is the FIRST PORT ON THE PACIFIC COAST and the FOURTH PORT IN THE UNITED STATES in the value of her ex- ports and imports. It shows that Washington in the amount of goods manufactured is GROWING FASTER THAN IS EITHER CALIFORNIA OR OREGON. In 1921 Washington’s manufactured products were valued at $448,165,000. In 1923 this had leaped to more than $1,000,000,000, a gain of 250 per cent. Oregon, with $223,664,000 in 1921, and California with $1,758,682,000 in 1921, had advanced 200 per cent in 1923, the report shows. In 1922 Seattle lagged behind San Francisco in the value of imports and exports. Today Seattle tops all West Coast ports.
