About Pullman, Washington

Pullman, Washington — population around 33,000 — is built around Washington State University and the Cougs. Game days at Martin Stadium and Beasley Coliseum draw fans from across the Pacific Northwest, but Pullman's calendar is busy year-round with live music at Rico's Public House, community theater, the Gladish Community Center's events and classes, the National Lentil Festival every August, and a growing food and beer scene downtown. Pullman sits on the west side of the Palouse just 8 miles from Moscow, ID, and the two towns share an airport, regional events, and the paved Chipman Trail between them.
