Pullman is an interesting town with how intertwined it is with the school (Washington State University). The only major city is Spokane, 90 minutes away, so there is a great sense of pride in the town of Pullman for what it is. There is a major college town feel, as it is small and the University makes up a majority of the town's population.
The pandemic has hit Pullman very hard, unfortunately. Walking down the middle of town you will quickly see many businesses who have had to close shop. With school being online for the entire year, not as many students came back in August. Businesses were already having to balance the shutdown restrictions, but now with less customers it made it even harder, which is a sad sight.
Overall, this is still a great town with a huge sense of pride in their local college. There is zero major crime and the housing is very affordable. Pullman is a small town that feels much bigger!

Pullman is a smaller town - the total population is about 30k, but that's with the addition of the WSU campus population. Because of that, the community is tight-knit and has a nice mix of events and a culture that is aimed towards the college population and the older residents of the area. Many of the events and the buzz revolves around activities around the campus, but everyone in town is 100% supportive of Cougs! I would love to see more diversity within the town outside of the campus and activities or events that represent Pullman outside of being a college town.
From my short time of living here, I can already say that my experience with Pullman has been amazing. It is known as a very small town surrounded by wheat fields and filled with a community of cougar fans. This town is very safe and all members are very interactive with the college students and their spirit. Local markets are open on Sundays, as well as rad places to hang with friends such as bowling allies, movie theaters and clubs. Overall, this town is easily one of the best around!
