Description
The Palouse is an area of eastern Washington State and northwestern Idaho is known for its rolling fields of wheat and legume crops. Origins of the name “Palouse” are uncertain, but the story I like best is that French fur traders called this region of southeastern Washington, north-central Idaho and northeastern Oregon the “land with short and thick grass” – or pelouse (lawn) in French which later became “Palouse”.
