Mexicans in North Central Washington

Focusing on the migration and settlement of Mexicans in North Central Washington, the narrative traces the arrival of braceros during World War II, followed by Mexican American families from south Texas in the late 1940s. The early 1950s saw further migration from the Yakima Valley in search of economic opportunities. By the late 1980s, these communities began to establish roots, starting businesses and purchasing homes, leading to greater integration and participation in a diverse economic landscape.
