A letter from the President

Welcome to Pullman… Exceptional Lifestyle, Growing Business, and Educational Excellence!

If you’re unfamiliar with Pullman and the surrounding area, you’ll quickly determine for yourself the reason why so many others have chosen to make it their home.

Ranked by Bloomberg Business, as the best small town in Washington to raise kids, Pullman is home to Washington State University (ranked in the top 60 best state universities by U.S. News and World Report),  has a near-invisible crime rate, and regional healthcare services that are consistently rated in the top three percent of the country.

Pullman’s business climate is robust.  With a thriving technology sector and opportunities for new business, the area is fueling it’s growth through its active Palouse Knowledge Corridor.  If you’re looking to relocate or start a new company, Pullman is “open for business” and able to help you with your efforts!

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy many nearby activities including road and mountain biking, kayaking and rafting, skiing, and various other outdoor sportsman-related adventures. Pullman is known for its beautiful countryside and picturesque scenery.

Eating, shopping and entertainment… In addition to its many coffee houses and pubs, Pullman has received regional recognition for its new restaurants, breweries/wineries, and live concert and theater venues.

Community events… Pullman is known for its “National Lentil Festival” and “Fourth of July Celebration”, and is fortunate to have many Washington State University activities and Pac-12 sporting events, which perpetuates our tourism industry.

Though Pullman, and its neighboring towns, continue to attract new businesses and experience growth-related employment opportunities, it does lack one obvious thing from the big cities that most will never miss… The big city!

Hopefully, you’ll enjoy Pullman as much as we do!

Mike Yates, President

Pullman Chamber of Commerce
