r/EasternWa

Hi everyone. I’m moving to Ephrata and have a question about the WiFi services for the area. Does anyone use T-Mobile WiFi? How good is the coverage and speed?

Hey everyone! I live just across the border to sumas in communist Canada and will be looking to take a roadtrip out as far as Pullman/Idaho border to the Palouse region end of this month to early june to sightsee, do a hike or two, and snap some pics. (Steptoe Butte #1 on the list for a sunset, old barns in the area #2)

I love the countryside and looking for reccs on where I should stop to in Eastern WA. Wenatchee Area? Outside Spokane? Any favs of yours are appreciated!

I’m a young adult lady, I like shopping at the mall and taking walks. I don’t like the rain or the cold, and I like the desert area. Somewhere very affordable and with opportunity to make friends my age.

Preferably a big enough place to have some variety of shops, restaurants, and bars.

Hi everyone,

I am a PhD student at the University of Washington conducting an official study on how electric vehicle (EV) drivers respond to wildfire evacuations.

We are specifically seeking input from Eastern WA EV drivers. Too often, infrastructure investment are based on the West Side, and we want to change that by gathering data from the people who actually live and drive in high-risk wildfire zones. Your real-world experience is critical to helping Washington state prioritize emergency charging infrastructure and improve wildfire resilience for the EV community.

Are you eligible?

We need input from BEV drivers (primary or seasonal residents) in: Asotin, Grant, Benton, Spokane, Stevens, Douglas, Lincoln, Ferry, Skamania, Yakima, Kittitas, Okanogan, Chelan, or Klickitat counties.

The Details:

• ⏱ Time: ~25 minutes.
• 🎁 Incentive: Complete the survey to enter a drawing for four $50 gift cards and ten $20 gift cards.
• 📅 Deadline: May 31, 2026.
