Question: What are common factors that drove immigration from China,
Japan, and the Phillippines to Washington and other western states in
the 19th century

Answer 1

Originating primarily from China, Japan, Korea, India, and the Philippines, these early migrants were predominantly contracted workers who labored on plantations. With the annexation of Hawaii by the United States in 1893, a large population of Asians lived in US territory and more would continue to immigrate.
