The city of Moscow, Idaho, bares little relation to its namesake: Moscow, Russia. You won't find the Kremlin or towering spires of St. Basil's Cathedral here! Instead, Moscow is a sleepy border town between Idaho and Washington, in the middle of a densley forested mountainous region.

The geography is Moscow's chief asset. Ideally located between the majestic Moscow Mountain and the rolling hills of the Palouse, this small town offers tranquility, safety, and fine education in the form of Unviersity of Idaho's main campus. Across the state border lies Washington State University. As such, the town is filled with bubbly students, quirky shops, and fantastic night life.

If you like the outdoors you won't feel out of place here. Between camping, skiing, fishing, hiking, and biking, you won't ever run over the same place twice unless you stick to the trails.

Being a college community, the arts are important to this town and it's known as the regional hub for arts and culture. The annual Jazz Festival, summer theatre, Rendezvous in the Park, and other live music events all fill the air with wondrous sounds.

If you want to provide a safe location to raise a family while next to some of the region's finest education, Moscow is your answer.
