For clothes the biggest and best conglomeration of stores in one place, within a reasonable distance ( about 8 miles) is the Moscow mall, with stores like Ross's, Maurice's, and the Buckle.  Shopko is in Pullman and offers clothing of predictable style, mediocre cut and dubious fashion value for emergencies, but their prices are often higher than Ross's, where you can get name brand, high-quality clothes.

We recently lost the Pullman Goodwill, which used to be an excellent resource for lower-income students, since many of their clothes and accessories were donated by departing students and were name-brand items in good or like new condition.  A bigger, better Goodwill is promised, but like the stores mentioned above, it's slated to be in Moscow, so carless students will have to beg a ride or take the Wheatland Express, which buses people from Pullman to Moscow and back, for which the fall schedule follows:

Route # 1
(PLEASE NOTE: Last run only goes to WSU French Administration Building)

All times may vary due to weather & traffic conditions.

No Saturday/Sunday service. No service on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, Martin Luther King's Birthday, also if both Universities are closed.
