Because of our geography, people assume that Pullman is difficult to get to. They forget that while Pullman is 79 miles from the airport, it's a relatively easy drive if you plan ahead. It takes roughly 90 minutes, but I've found it to be an easy drive on the way to the game. Husky Stadium is only 18 miles from Seatac but it can take an hour in Seattle traffic. It can take 2 hours to drive the 29 miles from LAX to the Rose Bowl.
Regardless, people see us in the corner of the state and think that it's going to be a pain to get to Pullman.
