A town that has it all
The city of Pullman lies 78 miles south of Spokane and 280 miles east of Seattle, nestled amidst the gently rolling hills of a region called the Palouse. Here you won’t find smog or traffic jams. What you will find are excellent public schools and health care services, a vibrant array of cultural and community activities, and a low crime rate.
Four hills
The city spans 4 hills—Sunnyside, Pioneer, College, and Military—that divide it into 4 nearly equal quarters. As you might expect, the University sits atop College Hill. See where different neighborhoods are located on a map.
Two universities
The WSU community isn’t alone. Just 8 miles away is the University of Idaho in Moscow, a major teaching and research institution. The 2 universities engage in many joint educational and research endeavors.
Many places to go
From Pullman it’s just a short drive to extraordinary destinations for outdoor recreation: hiking, camping, mountain biking, snow skiing, fishing, boating, rafting, and more.
Great schools
College entrance exam scores of Pullman School District graduates are consistently in the top 3% of all high schools in the state.
