The Wobblies, officially known as the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), were a radical labor organization that emerged in the early 20th century, advocating for the rights of workers and promoting industrial unionism. In Washington state, they were particularly active during the 1910s, organizing strikes and protests to challenge poor working conditions and low wages in industries such as logging and mining. Their efforts significantly influenced labor movements in the region, although they also faced strong opposition from business interests and government authorities. The Wobblies' legacy continues to be felt in contemporary labor activism.
