Help plss?? :) What was the main reason for the rapid growth of Tacoma, Seattle, and Spokane in the 1880s?

They had large reserves of silver.

They were part of the railroad network.

They were port cities along the Puget Sound.

They all had large immigrant populations.

Answer:

Though both Seattle and Tacoma grew at a rapid rate from 1880 to 1890, based on the strength of their timber industries, Seattle's growth as an exporter of services and manufactured goods continued for another two decades, while Tacoma's growth dropped almost to zero.
