In 1975, they were invited by then Governor Dan Evans after the California governor at the time, Jerry Brown, made a public statement that the refugees were not welcomed in California.  As Washington state was figuring out its resettlement program, the refugees began to slowly rebuild their lives. Through their resilience, many started restaurants.The oldest Vietnamese restaurant in Washington state is Pho Bac. It opened in 1982 initially as a sandwich shop, but when Pho was added to the menu, it took off. Pho rice noodle soup consists of a broth made with beef or chicken bones, pieces of meats, various spices in combination with toppings and sauces. Today, Pho Bac is still owned and operated by the same family and sells 700 bowls of pho every day!SOURCESWe Visit the Oldest Vietnamese Restaurant in Washingtonhttps://youtu.be/KilnTeUvyRkhttps://kuow.org/stories/seeing-vietnamese-refugee-camps-california-hit-me-gut/Pho explainedhttps://abusonadustyroad.com/vietnamese-southern-pho-vs-northern-pho/
