Recognizing Chinese Americans.

This Washington State House resolution acknowledges historical discrimination against Chinese Americans in Washington, including the Chinese Exclusion Act and forced expulsions like the Tacoma Riot of 1885, and recognizes their current contributions to the state's civic, cultural, and economic life. It specifically highlights the community's role in Washington's development since the 1880s and their present-day impact across agriculture, business, and the arts. As a symbolic resolution (not a law), it does not create new policies or funding but formally honors this history and community. The resolution was introduced and adopted by the House in February 2025.
