I'm from Moscow (the town where the murders took place) and it's kind of weird knowing when I was out doordashing that evening, he was probably getting ready to kill people near where I was from

EDIT: Moscow Idaho in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

Grew up in Moscow, Idaho, and now live in SE PA, so this story has taken an even weirder turn for me.

Ditto, I went to U Idaho there - pea and lentil capital of the world! - and lived in apartments not far from where the murders occurred. Then the guy ends up in PA not that far from where I live now. The whole thing is just too horrible. My heart goes out to the families.

For some reason, I'm stuck on a Moscow, Idaho.

This is in Idaho, roughly 300 miles east of Seattle

Idaho is a state in the United States of America. A city is a human settlement of notable size.

Well now I'm more confused. Isn't Moscow in Russia?

City names are often reused. Ex: there are 24 towns worldwide named Dublin, including the obvious famous one.

Mos Cow, is the milk bar one sector away from Mos Eisley.

Mos Eisley was a spaceport on the desert planet of Tatooine.

Today I learned Idaho is considered the PNW

Jordaneer t1_j2ca9cv wrote

The north part of Idaho (where I live and this took place) is way closer culturally to Eastern and Central Washington state than to the southern part of Idaho. Therefore if you consider Washington state part of the Pacific Northwest, then North Idaho also is

Totally agree, and have been debating this “Oregonian” below because he KNOWS he is right since he lived there for a decade.

It's not 😂 they wish they were. It's Midwest through and through.

country_donut_time t1_j2c7r3n wrote

Idaho is not at all considered Midwest. Pacific Northwest (N. Idaho) or Inland Northwest/Intermountain West (S. Idaho), but absolutely not Midwest.

CraWLee t1_j2c8oxr wrote

Hey logic! Do not take my statement as an assault, but "inland" nw is made up, it's more like outskirts West by mid-west. Jackson hole(which is mid west) is like 20 miles from the Idaho/Wyoming boarder. Idaho is irrefutably midwest. I'll contest to Northern Idaho as eastern pnw, but that's like calling something inland 😆

McCooms t1_j2c33y5 wrote

I googled it before commenting, it is the Pacific North West from what I found.

CraWLee t1_j2c3kpi wrote

I'm just speaking from experience and the fact that I lived in Oregon for over a decade. Idaho is West-mid-West. 😆

Yeah, but they’re from Idaho and they’re saying it’s the PNW. In addition to the internet. Not sure why all of that is trumped by you living in Oregon for however long.

You don't get it. Get off the internet and travel a little. You won't have to reference Google for geographical information 😂

McCooms t1_j2c6ojk wrote

That’s cool, but by your logic you’re still wrong. Guess we should all listen to the guy who lived in Oregon over the person who lived in Idaho 🙄

CraWLee t1_j2c76f1 wrote

You are like talking to a brick wall. Here's another example to clarify what I'm saying. People that live in new Jersey across the river from Philly, say they're from Philly. They're not, but that's what they say then you find where they actually live and you explain to them that they live in Jersey, not Philly. This conversation is done, you have no life experience to dwell on and only have Google for references, you're essentially a bot.

Are you one of those people who won’t change their mind even when evidence and anecdote tell you you’re wrong? If you don’t think so you may want to reflect on it a little longer if after the below you still think you’re right.

Go to Wikipedia to check for yourself, but I’ve saved you the trouble. While there is not a consensus on which of the three options below is true “PNW” all include Idaho.

“The map below shows three possibilities: (1) The shaded area shows the historical Oregon Country. (2) The green line shows the Cascadia bioregion.[6] (3) The labeled states and provinces include Washington, Idaho, Oregon and British Columbia.”

Pacific North West

Like I said I've lived in the PNW and have been to Idaho and lived in shortly. My statement is but perspective, but if you've ever been to either you'd understand wth I'm talking about.

One last key factor, Idaho does not touch the Pacific ocean, so how could it be classified pnw.

McCooms t1_j2cgube wrote

I’ve been to both, with friends living in Bend and Eugene who I’ve visited several times. Drove from Seattle to the Olympic peninsula along the Juan de Fuca straight from Port Angeles. Went down to second beach and La Push and went through the rain forest. Took the train south from Seattle to Portland. Drove from Eugene to Boise. Didn’t spend a ton of time in Boise but overall I agree it didn’t add up as being the Pacific Northwest. However, I was not in Northern Idaho, where the poster above says it is culturally closer to PNW. Given that everything on the internet agrees with them, I’m going with them.

Does that cover all of our bases?

CraWLee t1_j2chjxz wrote

😂 definitely 👏. Northern Idaho should for sure be dubbed it's own state, it's totally different than the rest of ID. Culturally wise, it's more like Utah though to add to the argument 😅

And you've been to Idaho? 😂 I hear what you're saying, I'm just stating that the title of pnw has no business including Idaho. Apparently Alaska is apart of the pnw too, I beg to differ on that one as well.

CraWLee t1_j2ci9hu wrote

So you don't agree that Idaho is a completely different geographical dynamic than the rest of the pnw? Again, it's not even attached to the Pacific in anyway shape or form.

Wtf are you talking about? You just proved you know nothing about the PNW, or the Midwest for that matter.

CraWLee t1_j2cmwyh wrote

Sure I don't. Your statement has made me see the truth. How could I ever have a difference of opinion from actual life experience and perspective, I pray thee forgive me, I know nothing about anything and then some. Thank you so much for your clarity. I bow to you for your insight be so fruitful.

There's a Moscow outside the Poconos as well which makes it that much more confusing.

Since when is Idaho considered part of the PNW? Is Spokane even considered part of the PNW?

Jordaneer t1_j2egk8w wrote

Pretty much all of Washington state is considered part of the PNW, and north Idaho is way more integrated with Eastern Washington state than southern Idaho, so specifically North Idaho
