The home of Washington State University has been named a top college town.
Sunset magazine ranks Pullman ninth on its list of the Ten Best College towns in the West.
The publication – a monthly lifestyle magazine that chronicles the life, culture, food and destinations in the Western U.S. and western Canadian provinces – ranked Pullman just ahead of Tempe, Arizona, while the top ranking went to Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Sunset praised its listed towns for top-notch education and lifestyle beyond campus, including places with a covetable food scene, plenty of outdoor offerings, solid real estate value, and great-neighbor potential.
Other western college towns ranked by Sunset were: Berkeley, California; Bozeman, Montana; Claremont, California; Eugene, Oregon; Fort Collins, Colorado; Honolulu, Hawaii; and Logan, Utah. (Spokesman Review)
