Before joining Pullman City Council in January 2008, one councilmember worked at NASA and was involved in multiple projects.
Councilmember Nathan Weller originally applied for a position with NASA in California. When he got a call back, NASA asked him to go to their Virginia headquarters instead, he said.
“[Instead of a research intern], they wanted me to be a team lead, [and] to lead this project because it was new,” Weller said. “It was a very exciting opportunity.”
Weller was a team lead on a satellite project; the team took 16 different satellites and put them in one location to be used by scientists, politicians and the general public.
It just feels good : Whitman County moves back to Phase 3 after more than a month

The county failed to meet Phase 3 metrics during an early April evaluation, sending it back to Phase 2. Governor Jay Inslee then instituted a two-week pause in the reopening plan at the beginning of May, before announcing that all counties would move to Phase 3 on Tuesday and would remain there until the state s full reopening date of June 30.
Pullman resident Megan Guido moved here from Brooklyn, New York in fifth grade. In the 30 years she has spent in Pullman, she never expected she would be living in the same house she grew up in.
Guido said she went to Gladish Middle School, then Pullman High School. She later completed her bachelor’s degree at the University of Idaho before moving to Seattle for a master’s degree in public administration.
Even after moving across the state, Guido said she found herself back in Pullman, where she worked at Pullman Regional Hospital for more than 20 years.
“It was an ideal place to grow up,” she said. “But I also left Pullman, as many people do, and I worked in Seattle. It made me appreciate Pullman and its many attributes.”
