Pullman , Washington
Pullman is located in the heart of the Palouse Country. Pullman was originally founded in its current location because of the water. It was originally named Three Forks, after the three small rivers that converge here (Missouri Flat Creek, Dry Fork, and the South Palouse). The most important feature for the new settlement was the abundance of fresh, potable water provided by a series of natural artesian wells. This guaranteed water supply was a great asset for growing a community and future city. The railroad and a land grant college would guarantee Three Forks/Pullman's survival. Today Pullman is a city with a wintertime population of 27,000 people and a summertime population half that size, the atmosphere in Pullman is as dynamic as it's residents. Home to Washington State University , Pullman is an educational and cultural hub for the area, boasting some 20,000 students state-wide, college theatre, and the WSU Museum of Art.
