Palouse is no longer being considered for possible annexation into the Pullman Regional Hospital taxing district. The PRH Commissioners decided in January to proceed with plans to ask voters to expand the hospital’s taxing district. The board initially agreed to try to annex the area around Pullman along with the City of Palouse and areas outside of town out to the Palouse School District boundaries. PRH has since decided to exclude Palouse from the annexation plan. Hospital External Relations Officer Rueben Mayes doesn’t have a specific reason as to why Palouse is no longer being considered for PRH annexation.
