Getting to Pullman
By Plane
The Seattle-Tacoma Internal Airport (SEA) is about a five hour drive to Pullman, WA.
The Pullman/Moscow Airport (PUW) is just two miles from campus. You can grab a taxi or rent a car from there.
The City of Pullman is also trialing a bus route dedicated to servicing arrivals and departures (excluding Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Years Day). If you are going directly to a campus tour or event, get off at the Flag Lane stop. If you are staying at the Courtyard or Residence Inn on campus, get off at the Outdoor Recreation Center stop.
The Lewiston Regional Airport (LWS) is about 45 minutes away from Pullman and is located in Lewiston, ID. Transportation options include the LWS airport shuttle for Moscow/Pullman and several rental car options.
