In the 1970s we were an unaffiliated Quaker worship group that met in people's homes. In time we became a worship group under the care of Eastside Monthly Meeting, located in Bellevue, Washington.
In the mid-1980's we became a "Monthly Meeting" named Pullman-Moscow Monthly Meeting. (Worship Groups and Monthly Meetings are the basic organizing units for Quakers in local communities.)
For many years we met for worship on the campus of the University of Idaho in the Campus Christian Center. In 2018 we changed our in-person meeting venue to Fairview Village in Moscow, Idaho.
With the advent of COVID in 2020 we met only online for worship and business. We have continued to meet online, but in 2024 included a monthly in person meeting for worship with online participation.
Meeting online provides the opportunity to reach a wider community. We occasionally have attenders from outside the immediate vicinity who would otherwise be unable to attend.
At the end of 2025 we became known as Palouse-Clearwater Friends Meeting to better reflect the geographic distribution of our members and attenders.
Meeting for worship for business is usually scheduled to follow meeting for worship on the first Sunday of each month, unless otherwise posted.
Our Meeting is affiliated with Pacific Northwest Quarterly Meeting (PNQM). PNQM holds a silent retreat near the end of January at Camp Huston near Gold Bar, Washington, plus two meetings at Lazy F Camp near Ellensburg, Washington, in late April and late September.
We are also affiliated with North Pacific Yearly Meeting (NPYM), which holds its annual session in July.
Western Friend, is the official publication of North Pacific, Pacific, and Intermountain Yearly Meetings. Its' publications are an excellent way to see what unprogrammed Quakers in the U.S. West are about.
