Pullman permit value jumps 112-fold on two filings

Pullman issued just two permits in April, down from 14 the month before, but their combined value hit $6.1 million—112 times March's $54,000. The details behind that spike aren't in the data. One new business opened: Odyssey Transport & Warehouse LLC, a limited license operation. Service requests fell 30 percent to 284, led by potholes (26), abandoned vehicles (25), and busted streetlights (22). Reported crime dropped 36 percent to 48 incidents, with violent offenses down from 21 to 13. One food establishment failed inspection.
