We choose Pullman!
Pullman offers a great sense of community. Little traffic, fresh, clean air, and small town charm, all while offering a university setting that creates many cultural opportunities. Pullman plays host to two civic theatres, and shares a symphony orchestra with neighboring Moscow. Art opportunities abound and our many diverse religious and civic organizations are always poised to lend a helping hand. Our nationally recognized National Lentil Festival and 4th of July Celebration attract visitors from across the region during the summer months and our stunning geography attracts photographers from across the world year round.
Washington State University, with more than 18,000 students and PAC-10 sporting events, keeps Pullman hopping. We are excited about the continued success of WSU athletes and the growth of programs, including the expansion of Martin Stadium and the completion of the award winning Palouse Ridge Golf Club.
Looking for a charming downtown with specialty stores and coffee shops? We have that. We have a growing retail base outside the downtown core as well. Hotels and restaurants cater to residents as well as visitors. You can grab a quick bite to eat or a gourmet meal with an award winning bottle of wine.
Technology companies, like Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories and Decagon Devices are changing the landscape, making Pullman a great place to work and raise a family. With two major universities within 10 miles Pullman offers young and old a rich experience with a quality of life next to none.
We welcome you to Pullman. Stay for a night or a stay for a lifetime. We think once you’ve been here, you will see why we choose to call Pullman home.
