Order an ImageSince the late 19th century, trade with China and other countries bordering the Pacific Ocean has been very important to Seattle. Over the years, various groups of people from these Asian nations have visited Seattle to promote their countries' products. In 1920, nearly 14 million dollars worth of Chinese goods came through Washington ports. This photo, taken about 1920, shows three women visiting Seattle with the Chinese Silk Commission.
