During WWII blacks moved to the NW to work in the factories and shipyards..notably Portland.

Other than Portland, Seattle and Tacoma...there’s no other minority presence in the NW. Go drive around. When you do bump into a black guy....he’s usually associated with the Army or retired from the Army. The hundred towns around those three urban centers? Mostly non-black, and a growing Latino or Asian influence.
