To build a new home in rural Whitman County, landowners must obey “viewshed” rules that prevent new homes from impacting the views and privacy enjoyed by their neighbors. They also must comply with “highly visible property” rules that discourage folks from building on hilltops. They must sign and notarize an affidavit acknowledging that farming comes first here, and that they and their heirs accept that. Neighborliness comes from the heart, not from laws. But I am happy to comply. I don’t want my freedom as a landowner to offend my neighbors...
Farming has been as good as farming can get for many years. I am the owner of nearly 1000 acres of Palouse soil. Stuart Wilson, my son, is currently farming that acreage. I have loved the land, every inch of it, since my youngest age, working often with my father and mother, being involved in using the various pieces of farming equipment and in following the practices required. Now, after 87 years, I am doing my best in my official capacity as land-lady. As for me, I would never want to disturb my neighbors with ugly usages of my land. What is...

The Whitman County Commissioners will be meeting Monday morning, April 29th, 2024. April 30th is the day that we all associate with the payment of our property taxes. Regrettably, our federal tax dollars are about to be used to reduce the value of our property and change life in the Palouse for the foreseeable future. Federal subsidies placed in the hands of powerful foreign interests intend to mark our beautiful skylines with obnoxious intrusions that will deface what we all love and provide no lasting benefit to those of us that live here....
