If the United States did not annex Hawaii, how might the development of Alaska and West Coast of North America have been changed? Might Anchorage have been developed as a coaling station for trans-Pacific travel, perhaps based around the Chuitna coal field? Might Oregon see more development of its transportation infrastructure such as ports, shipyards, and later airports, as well as its agricultural potential?

Would there be any changes for West Coast transportation and agriculture if Hawaii wasn't annexed by the United States? Would the West Coast of Canada and the United States attract investments that otherwise would have gone to the territory of Hawaii?
