Blog Description

Welcome to our blog! As seniors here at Washington State University, we've heard the same jokes about living in the Palouse...time and time again...

"So how much time do you spend in those wheatfields...?"

"No wonder you're all alcoholics...there's nothing to do in Pullman except drink..."

...and my personal favorite, a quote from Don James, retired University of Washington football coach: "Attending WAZZU is great preparation for real life. It teaches you not to expect too much."

WELL, while we have as good of a sense of humor as anyone, if not better, we beg to differ. There is plenty to do in Pullman, and we plan to prove it to you. From nightlife, to outdoor recreation, to campus events/involvement, and more, Pullman earned the nickname Pullmania for a reason.

Sure, drinking may be an (albeit large) part of that, but that's the case at most American college campuses. From our last three years in this incredible town, we've got lots of personal experience in finding more to do. In our last year here, we're dedicated to finding even more and sharing it with all of you, if for no other reason than giving you something to share with your parents when they worry about your weekend habits.

Please share this with your friends, and send us messages or comments with any suggestions or requests of things you'd like to see. We want everyone to enjoy Pullman as much as we do!

Getting to the game at CenturyLink Field

We know all of you are heading over the mountains this weekend to cheer on the Cougars against Oregon State at CenturyLink Field this weekend, but getting there may be a little daunting. Sure, it's easy to get to the west side (just pile everyone into that old Honda Civic and split the gas money!) but once you're in dreary Seattle, how is a broke college student able to get to the stadium? Fear not fans, we have some transportation tips for the budget conscious Coug!

 ST Express Bus Service
Sound Transit bus service offers transportation from areas throughout Pierce, King and Snohomish counties with service every 30 minutes and stops within 3 blocks of CenturyLink Field. Make it a game and sing the Cougar Fight Song every time the bus stops to pick up passengers!

Link Light Rail

Washington State Ferries
Regular ferry service from Bremerton and Bainbridge Island arrives at Colman Dock on Pier 52, just a short walk to Qwest Field. Riders to West Seattle from Port Orchard and Vashon Island can transfer to Metro buses for quick transit to CenturyLink Field as well. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/

CenturyLink Parking Lots
If you can get parking lot money from mom or dad, get yourself to Royal Brougham St. and park safely!

GO COUGS!
