Klan No. 22: Spokane

Incorperated with the entrance of the organization into the state formally in 1922, The Spokane Chapter of the Ku Klux Klan, intitially chartered No. 2, grew to become the second largest Klan chapter in Washington State. The Spokane Klan, utilizing connections to pre-existing social structure such as the Protestant church system as well as other fraternal lodges, was able to have some influence over the politics of the region and present themselves as a feature of regional conciousness. Eventiually re-chartered as No. 22, the Spokane Konklave grew in size alongside other Washington Klans before its decline during the second half of the decade. While the Spokane chapter lingered into the 1930s and housed the Grand Dragon of Washington during this time, the Washington Klan of the late 1920s and early 1930s was defined by a constant decline in membership and lack of funding.
