The correct answer is: He reluctantly accepted the position of governor.

Isaac Stevens was a supporter of Franklin Pierce's campaign to be president of the United States. Because of this, the president-elect rewarded him by appointing him governor of the newly created Washington Territory. He also acquired the position of surveyor since they had to trace the railroad route along the north of the country.
