The factors that most contributed to Washington's growth and led to statehood include:

1. The development of a new system of roads
2. The construction of railroads in the area
3. The increase in the territory’s population

The expansion of cotton production is not typically associated with Washington's growth, as it was not a significant agricultural product for the region.
