Anyone got any info on Pullman WA?
Considering a move there and I know it is a college town, do people live in that area or a surrounding suburb?
What is the weather like? How are the schools and the job opportunities?
Thanks for any info.

Went to school at WSU in Pullman in the 70's. Very much a 'company town', with the University as the company. Located in Palouse wheat-growing region, not wet & forested like Western WA. Moscow Idaho is less than 10 miles away, location of University of Idaho. Nearest big city is Spokane, 90 miles north. Seattle is a 6-hour drive.

I presently live in Pullman and have since the late 80's. Pullman is relatively expensive, real estate wise, for Eastern Washington ... more expensive than Spokane. Though the two universities are the major employers (WSU in Pullman and U of I in Moscow, ID), there has been significant growth in the high tech sector, primarily with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. (go to selinc.com ... SEL is always looking for qualified individuals). Another (though smaller) high tech firm is Decagon Devices (decagon.com). People also commute into Pullman and Moscow from smaller surrounding communities (e.g., Colfax, Palouse, Garfield, Colton, Uniontown in WA; Potlatch, Troy, Deary, Genesee in ID). Schools in Pullman are good - with the parents working at the universities and high tech firms (such as SEL), there is a real concern about good education ... lots of parental involvement/support for the schools. All the elementary schools and the middle school are recently upgraded or new since I moved here. Pullman, WA/Moscow, ID are "diamonds in the rough." Hope this helps
