The 1909 World’s Fair in Seattle led to

Answer
A
more investment in Washington.
B
the Klondike Gold Rush.
C
discrimination against immigrants.
D
financial troubles for the state.

Explanation

The 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in Seattle showcased the region and encouraged people and businesses to invest there. Its promotion helped attract development and investment to Washington. The Klondike Gold Rush began years earlier, in the late 1890s, so the fair did not cause it.
