Street Directions<\/h4>\n

The Pullman address system divides the city into quadrants. Each quadrant corresponds generally to the Pullman hills: Military, College, Sunnyside, and Pioneer. All Pullman street addresses include a directional abbreviation that indicates the quadrant. They are SW, SE, NE, NW, E, W, S and N. The street address includes one of these directionals after the house number and before the name of the street.<\/p>\n

Example<\/h5>\n

900 NE B ST<\/p>\n

Residence Halls<\/h4>\n

WSU residence halls are an exception to the rule about street directions. The mailing address is a residence hall room number and the name of the residence hall on the first line. The second line of the the address must be P.O. Box 1700. The P.O. Box number is the same (1700) for all residence halls.<\/p>\n

Complete the residence hall address with the name of the residence hall and the word “Hall”. Stephenson and McEachern residence halls also include either E, S or N.<\/p>\n
