The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is the only spot that comes close. Some of my coworkers kids enrolled at U Idaho and had to drive long hours through Montana to get there. But Uof UTAH and BYU were far more popular than U of Idaho. Seemed only blue collar parents sent their kids to Idaho St.
What Moscow needs is an interstate from Spokane to Boise, Reno and Las Vegas. That stretch of the US doesn't have adequate N/S highway transportation and has grown tremendously since the interstate system was chartered. An interstate, even if most of it was in E Washington, would better connect the panhandle to the rest of the state.
Look up interstate 11. They are already building the Phoenix-Las Vegas part and planning Tuscon-Phoenix and Las Vegas-Reno.
Have seen the bridge near Hoover Dam at Boulder City. Didn't know it was part of a future I-11.
