The resolution recognizes the recent designation of the Filipino Hall of the Yakima Valley as a historic site on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Washington State Register of Historic Places. This hall, built specifically as a community center for Filipinos, has served as a vital gathering place for families in the Yakima Valley since its grand opening in 1952. The resolution highlights the historical significance of the Filipino community in the Yakima Valley, noting their arrival in the 1910s and the challenges they faced, including anti-Filipino riots and discriminatory laws.

Furthermore, the resolution calls upon the citizens of Washington State to celebrate this designation and acknowledges the contributions of notable Filipino Americans from the region. It also directs that copies of the resolution be distributed to various community leaders and organizations to promote awareness and appreciation of Filipino American history and culture.
