Second WSU Marriott hotel now in the works

Gazette intern reporter

A new 122-room Residence Marriott hotel is expected to be constructed soon in Pullman. The project, which is pending permit approval through the Pullman Planning Committee, according to a report, is expected to be constructed near the Residence Inn on Northeast North Fairway Drive, behind the University Recreation Center.

The site of the hotel has been approved through the Pullman Planning Committee but still is waiting on approval of the permit. The permit plans, according to administrative assistant Bethany Johnson, were sent to the Pullman Planning Committee in February, but modified plans were brought to the city two weeks ago and now include upper modular floors, to be constructed outside of the site in Pullman and brought in to be placed on top of the foundation.

“The project received planning department approval, but is just waiting for the permit to go through,” said Johnson.
