in the first territorial legislative meeting in olympia, which becomes our capital city eventually, the early parties, the early delegates wanted to pass women's suffrage. in washington, that was part of the platform for the first legislative session in that territorial congress for washington. and it got voted down. but it was brought up right away. there were very early men in the legislature who advocated for women's suffrage. and-forward to the 1880's, washington is working very hard at the effort to become a state, which is achieved in 1889. but in the 1880's, women in the territory win the right to vote in 1883. immediately, they start to vote for a more progressive agenda in the territorial legislature. and they also unseat some of the more corrupt leaders in communities, like the seattle mayor who was known to have influence with the saloons, prostitution, and gambling. they vote him out of office, so you can imagine suffrage is not proving that popular with a lot of people. while the legislature in those days before we were a state could vote to pass suffrage, it did not take a

together they descend on olympia. and they workrse together to get an amendment to the ballot. in january of 1909, the house votes for the amendment, and it passes by i think 10 to 20 votes. then in february, the senate votes, the washington state senate. it passes by a bigger majority, and on february 25, 1909, the governor signs the bill to create the opportunity for washingtonians to vote for suffrage for women in washington state. so that vote is going to come up before washington men in november of 1910. so the suffrage amendment passes on november 8, 1910, and washington becomes the fifth state in the union to pass suffrage. the people coming west were people who were probably risk takers, were looking to break out of some conventional life that they might have experienced in the east, and a lot of suffragettes came out here and worked from the east and worked hard as they saw the opportunity. announcer: our city's tour staff recently traveled to tacoma, washington to learn about its rich history. learn more about tacoma and other stops on our tour at c-span.org/citiestou
