Pullman Residents,
​
Strong town-gown relationships create strength for both partners. When one partner grows and prospers, so does the other.
That’s one of the foundational principles driving the thriving partnership between Washington State University and the City of Pullman. And because of our shared belief in and commitment to that principle, we continue to be excited about the possibilities for our community as we advance the priorities outlined in our town-gown initiative.
We believe the ingredients for a productive, ongoing town-gown collaboration are solidly in place: Communicate regularly and often; recognize that the health of one partner depends on the health of the other; consider issues from the perspective of both partners; when challenges occur, face them head on—together.
Working together, the possibilities that await us are nearly endless.
On February 4th, 2020 the Pullman Chamber of Commerce, City of Pullman and Washington State University signed a memorandum of understanding agree to work collaboratively to enhance the economic vitality of downtown Pullman and continue to work to make the city a desirable community for all.
