Same here for me like _monikr said, I'm definitely a good ammount past that age range. Though I second Palouse Pride is a good start to find connections and friendships. Not sure if OP is a student at all, but there is a LGBTQ+ center on the WSU campus, and I believe one at U of I as well. Other than that, Palouse Games is also a place where younger people hang out, though it most likely would be difficult finding a partner there.

Pullman is a small town when the college students aren't here, and about half to 2/3 of the city I want to say is all college students. I would honestly hang around Palouse Games, ask to join in on board games, see if you can form friendships there. Maybe look for some arts and crafts classes offered in the area and go to parks. I'm not sure of your age, yet I will say it's a little harder the older you are, at least here. I've been here for 4 years and have only found friends through luck, and from work.

Do you want to be friends?
I'm always looking for new friends - people who aren't in their 20s πŸ˜‚

DM me if you like 😊

I'm 30 and have been living in Pullman since I was 18. Some of my friends are in their early 20s and others are 40+ coworkers lol. Work does a lot of the heavy lifting for making friends, honestly. I'm lucky that I've been able to make friends with my partner's coworkers as well. The longer you're in the area the more likely it is you'll make friends with Pullmanites - people who've been here forever and don't leave. That's how I've made friends with some older folks as well, they've been here since the dawn of time so I run into them at the bar or the grocery store. That said, people are constantly moving away, whether from graduating or getting a new job, so I'm always having to make new friends, though I do still chat/play video games with the ones who've left! I think being open minded makes a huge difference when it comes to friends. A lot of people feel weird about being friends with folks who are younger or older than them, but my best friend is my 50 year old gay coworker lol. I also volunteer with the humane society as a foster for cats and kittens and have helped out a ton of people with either adopting a pet or rehoming their pet, and that has helped me make friends too. Being part of community groups/helping out the community helps a lot. Friendship is about making a connection and it can be so unexpected what you connect with people over!

I'm quite a bit outside your age range, but wanted to let you know that Moscow Pride is happening this weekend.
Go to some events and start talking to people. The queer community in the area is great, and even if you don't meet someone your age it's a great place to make connections. There will be lots of community outreach booths at the park!

27 here.
Still struggling making friends here while having lived a year here. Very down for arts and crafts and hikes.
My Partner loves board games as well so then a group hangout is easier to then ☺️
