City advice
What to pack
You will need weather appropriate clothing.
We have four distinct seasons.
Getting around
Individual automobile is the easiest travel.
There is not a lot of public transit for a city this size. You will need a rental car or your own vehicle to get around easily. Uber and Lyft are fairly available. In the summer you can rent “Lime” bikes and scooters in the downtown area and University District
