James Hill encouraged immigration to Washington for the following reasons:

  1. To expand the potential pool of railroad passengers.
  2. To encourage the formation of businesses in the region.

The focus on increasing the population and fostering economic activities would support the growth of the railroad and the overall economy in the area. Encouraging competition against logging and mining industries is not a primary reason attributed to his encouragement of immigration.
