TRAVEL
Pullman is served by Horizon Airlines out of Seattle. Alternatively, anyone
flying into Spokane may find ground transportation to Pullman on Link
Transportation. When that service is not convenient, a pick-up by the
Philosophy Department can be arranged, as it can for anyone flying into
Lewiston, Idaho. But the department needs to be alerted several days in
advance (509-335-8611)
Anyone driving to Pullman may obtain a parking permit for use on campus,
covered by the conference registration fee, as well as maps and advice, at
the Visitors Information Center for Washington State University. (The Center
is located in a converted railroad station next to the Washington Mutual
Bank in downtown Pullman, where Highway 195 from the north/west intersects
Grand Avenue, the main north/south road.) Even those driving to Pullman and
staying at one of the hotels listed below may wish to leave a car at the Inn
and use the complementary shuttle, as finding a parking space can be
difficult on Friday. Saturday parking, on the other hand, should prove to be
no problem.
HOUSING
The Hawthorn Inn, newly built and fully equipped, is offering a conference
rate of $50 per room (single or double occupancy) for those booking by
September 3. That price includes a hot breakfast and shuttle service to
campus. When making reservations (509-332-0928), mention the Northwest
Conference on Philosophy to obtain the special rate.
Two other options, a bit closer to campus but with no special rate, would be
The Holiday Inn Express (509-334-4437) and The Quality Inn (509-332-0500),
each of which also provides shuttle service to campus.
The Philosophy Club will host student participants in their dorms or
apartments if requests are made at least two weeks prior to the conference.
