Welcome to Boise, Idaho, the state Capitol and the largest Northwestern city between Salt Lake City, Utah and Portland, Oregon. With a population just a smidge over 200,000, Boise is home to an active community of outdoor enthusiasts, lovers of art, dance and theatre, small town comforts and big city ammenities. Geographically bound by the foothills of the Boise Mountains to the North, split down the middle by a river that runs through it, and punctuated to the South East by the Lucky Peak Resevoir, Boise's diverse landscape offers all types of living from waterfront to views. Experience all four seasons, from mild winters to high desert summers in this little big city we call Home. Boise's economic landscape is characterized by technology firms including Micron and Hewlett Packard, newsmaking start-ups like Balihoo and Keynetics, a flourishing downtown made up of small, local businesses, and centered around Boise State University; home to the Fiesta-bowl winning, blue-turf stomping, high-ranking football team, the Boise State Broncos. Boise's nightlife includes several local restaurants and wine bars, cornerside coffee shops and bookstores, local art and live music.
