The Goodyear Logging Company was in business from ca. 1915 to ca. 1924, headquartered in Clallam Bay. In 1922, there were 175 employees. Clallam Bay is a community on the east shore of Clallam Bay, Strait of Juan de Fuca, in northwest Clallam County. It was named for the bay, which was listed on British Admiralty Charts in 1846 by Capt. Henry Kellet as Callam, his Anglicized version of the Indian name. The name of the bay, as pronounced by Clallam Indians, might logically be Kla-kla-wice; however, Kellet attempted to reproduce the tribal name, which was S'klah-lam in Clallam dialect, or Do-sklal-ob in Twana, meaning big, strong nation. Initially drawn to work in California's gold fields or Hawai'i's sugar plantations, Chinese were also drawn to work in the Pacific Northwest. By the 1860s, news of a gold strike in eastern Washington brought Chinese immigrants here; by the 1870s, Chinese were recruited to work on railroad construction as well as in logging camps and salmon canneries. Immigration was illegal before the 1868 Burlingame Treaty, but labor contractors and immigrants conveniently ignored such restrictions. Farming and logging benefited from Asian labor. From 1857 to 1889 Chinese built sawmills and logging roads in Kitsap County, and worked in mills in Port Gamble, Port Ludlow, and Seattle. Japanese and Filipinos worked in lumber camps at Mukilteo, Port Blakeley, Tacoma and Bellingham. Farming was perhaps even a larger employer of Asian labor, and also provided many immigrants the opportunity to own their own land. Filipinos and Chinese harvested hops and other produce in south King County and the Yakima Valley.
