Pullman Washington, home of Washington State University, has been my home now for many years. I love the small, friendly hometown feel of our great community. And I love helping relocating clients to explore our corner on the border of Washington and Idaho.
We are uniquely situated. Spokane Washington is only about 1 1/2 hours to the North. I personally love taking a quick trip up to Spokane and go often as I did on Tuesday. We also have so many great outdoor escapes nearby. If you want to take a quick hike you might try lovely Kamiak Butte. It is only about 20 minutes North and provides fantastic views of the rolling hills of the Palouse and is a favorite for those new to Pullman. Moscow Idaho, home of the University of Idaho, is only 15 minutes east of us, has great shopping and a fantastic Farmer's Market on Saturday.
Our town in Pullman consists of about 25, 000 residents. That size nearly doubles once the students at WSU come to their second home in Pullman. It sure keeps our community young at heart for sure! And we enjoy so many wonderful benefits from hosting the university.
One of the best has got to be the Sports! We take Cougar Athletics very seriously! This weekend we will be jammed packed with the first Cougar Football Game! Football is definitely a great kick off to a great Sports Season here in Pullman! The one things you have to know about Cougs is they are tremendously loyal fans. Folks from all over with come for the game and tailgating will be the order of the day!
Wishing you a great Season! Go COUGS!

Enjoyed reading your post and reminiscing on my high-school/college days. I grew up in Eastern WA (Connell, WA to be specific) and made several trips to Pullman to visit friends and watch the games, I'm a total COUG at heart even though because of my work at that time I took courses via mail correspondence from my Spokane office (there was no such thing as online classes then). I still have my WASU Alumni card and hang on to it fondly.

Maria,
A Coug! How sweet that is! Thanks for posting!
My brother was a cougar and loved visited him because I usually got to watch a great sporting event of some sort when I visited.
