While Seattle is probably the furthest place in the continental United States from where the Civil Rights movement is typically associated, typically the Deep South, segregation and racial prejudices effected the northwest just as much as it did other regions in the United States. While de jure segregation enforced by law is no longer practiced, Seattle remains a highly racially segregated city. This is both from the aftermath of legalized segregation and the result of a continued practice of de facto segregation.
