Remembering Whatcom County鈥檚 Chinese expulsion 125 years later
On Nov. 7, 125 years ago, the residents of what would one day be Bellingham gathered in celebration. They marched in a torchlight parade, listened to speakers that included the mayor, heard songs by the glee club, and watched a fireworks display. The reason for their merriment was noted in the Nov. 6, 1885, edition of the Whatcom Reveille, which had invited residents to the Nov. 7 gathering.
