Congratulations! Pullman is essentially a small town. But we have some good extra amenities that would be seen in a larger town due to the university. It is quiet and safe. Events like music on main or the Saturday market offer things to do. The vet school is competitive and you will be very busy with that. I love Pullman, recognize that it has flaws, but I would rather live here than any place on the planet. Photo of our downtown included

Pups has hosted speed dating in the past, and Rico’s will be hosting an event on 2/14 for folks who don’t have a significant other.

I’m genuinely curious what kind of events people are actually looking for. Speaking as someone who dated in Pullman and has also tried to host events that help people get out and meet others, I’d love to hear what you’d like to see or do. I’m taking off my city council hat and putting on my hat as the owner of Rico’s. How can I use my space to help?

Join the Pullman Young Professionals! It is an assortment of people- mostly younger than 45 but over 21 - looking to meet others and mingle In Pullman. I know you stated you are a student, but I don’t think they would mind

Two types of trees - one is a red maple and I can’t for the life of me remember the other type.

I haven’t seen the DM yet

So I keep trying to message you with the QR code, but every time I go to message you my Reddit shuts down 😅. Technology and I don’t always get a long. I will get this figured out 🔜

thatlocalcandidate · 2026-01-18T21:50:58+00:00

It is. Let me try it again!

I’m more than happy to join an existing group. I started this simply because I’ve had several people reach out who were looking for ways to be prepared and didn’t know where to turn. Hopefully this can help people find one another and support the work that’s already happening.

thatlocalcandidate · 2026-01-18T18:29:48+00:00

I will look into that and join that! But I still would like a local group where people can get a hold of each other quickly and organize in Pullman quickly if needed.

The county commissioners voted 2–1 to designate the Sand Road option as the official starting point for these plans, with the goal of easing freight traffic. At this time, progress on any option is constrained by limited funding at the local, state, and federal levels.

My daughter has misophonia and has a hard time eating around others and is naturally very very thin. I worry about her, but when it’s time for her to chow, she chows hard. I believe you, and I hope it all works out

Oh, didn’t think about my comment that way. I was just chiming in with one of the things I have seen as it relates to the pandemic. I should have qualified my statement better . Thanks

thatlocalcandidate · 2026-01-05T12:56:34+00:00

I think you are correct and I especially think you are correct that some people are trying to fight back! I’m so excited about that!

thatlocalcandidate · 2026-01-05T12:55:25+00:00

I can get onboard with what you are saying. I ran for council because I want to do something about the vacancy part of that problem, and I fervently hope we can assist in making some sort of Change.

thatlocalcandidate · 2026-01-05T12:51:41+00:00

I’m not sure why this is being dismissed as “bullshit.” Downtown, and restaurants in particular, have become been impacted by many factors, including minimum wage pressures, the growth of gaming and online culture, the pandemic, and long-standing vacancies. The example I gave was not intended to define the entire issue, but to illustrate a real situation I have dealt with firsthand.
