Being the home of a major state university, there are many WSU centric activities available

[edit] Washington State University

• Washington State University, [5].  edit

WSU is trying to collect many of the sights around campus in one website titled Around WSU [6]. These are a selection (and maybe a few that have been forgotten)

• The Bears (WSU Grizzly Research) - One common sight is the Grizzly Bear research facility on Airport road. The bears usually come out of hibernation around March, and you can see them in their outdoor facility

[edit] Non WSU

- Kamiak Butte is a large butte just north of Pullman on Grand Avenue. Travel north approximately 10 miles, turn left at the sign for Kamiak Butte.

- The Chipman Trail is a bicycle and walking path that connects Pullman to Moscow (the trail continues to Troy, Idaho). It features a number of geographical information signs where a visitor can learn more about the unique topography of the Palouse. The trail follows Paradise Creek, a small stream which flows from Moscow.

- My Office Tavern: A local favorite and often-joke ("Let's meet at My Office"), it features cheap beer and food.

- Rico's: Live jazz on weekends, a slightly pricier bar with a real british pub style.

- The Grand Avenue Bar: Cheap drinks and lots of pool tables, beer pong table as well

- The ZZU: Very good drinks and unique themed nights (including "drag night")

- Valhalla: An excellent 80's themed night on Saturdays, but always cramped and usually pretty stuffy (go there to dance only!)

- Mike's: Two stories, bottom floor is a pretty poppin' dance club. Drinks are weak and overpriced (usually)

- The Coug: Greek hangout, lots of interesting "quotes" scribbled all over the place. Good luck finding toilet paper or soap in the bathroom
