I'm making the trek, flying into Spokane, gonna rent a car(of course) gonna drive that evening to Moses Lake, cuz I've never been to Yakima, hitting the Hanford Reach area as it looks intriguing to me maybe see some elk, then thru Walla Walla as that town sounds interesting, then up to Pullman for the game. I'm just parking at a lot as I printed out that info and going to the game. My question is is traffic horrendous going back to Spokane as I'm staying up there after the game to fly out Sunday AM. I've been to Pullman but it's been probably 20 years ago, hopefully it'll be a fun visit, but i know we've sure got our work cut out for us. Hopefully your fans are laid back and fun to chat with etc....
It's all about the experience, huh, lol

If the crowd is good sized the drive from Pullman to Colfax is about the only slow spot. The 15 miles can be pretty backed up all way from downtown Pullman, you will cruise after Colfax.
You been to Chico's Pizza in Moses Lake? If not there is you dinner spot for the first night, really good stuff.
If you wan to see some Elk and you are going to Yakima make sure you take the River Canyon Road. Pretty good shot of seeing some there as they come down to the river by over the train tracks.
I grew up in Yakima and if you are in town about lunch time and want have a great burger stop at Miner's, oh my goodness there are very few places like this, you have to see it to believe it. It is massive and so are the burgers. Can't believe it has never been on the Food or Travel Channel.

Walla Walla is incredible, such a beautiful town, well less the state prison up on the hill. It truly is a gem of a place, so worth the side trip.
Cougs are fun, but you always run into the drunk 19 year old frat guy who won't shut his mouth after about 10 glasses of liquid courage. Really fun place to see the game now as the stadium remodel is just incredible. The press box and suites along with the Football Operations building in the west end zone are just amazing. A huge video board in the other end zone and LED boards that run pretty much around the entire stadium less on the football facility. We went seriously went from an outhouse to a penthouse in 2 seasons.

Your entire itinerary nearly mirrors ours. Minus a few things.

It's a mountain town in WA that reinvented itself into a German Bavarian Alps style village. Literally all of the buildings are of that architectural style in that town. They do octoberfest BIG, they have a lot of German residents, and alot of the signs around town are in German/English. Christmas brings a ton of festivals and Christmas light ceremonies, honestly thousands flock there for the Christmas/winter festivals.
It's definitely a touristy town, but its worth it. Also, yes, there are some breweries up there and they do throw back beers like no other.

I got pretty drunk a few times a few weeks ago in Seattle off of their dozens of breweries. Loved the Elysian Brewery on Capitol Hill.
Beer in Washington good lord where do I start. There is a brewery 12 blocks from my house and a 12 just across the bridge in the part of town called ballard.
The mini-mart 3 blocks from my house has 7 beer taps and you can fill up a 64 oz growler of micro brew for 9.99. Have an IPA from them right now that is 7.6%
Probably 30 breweries in Just the city of Seattle.
Hell those coming to the game in Pullman there are 2 breweries in tiny old Pullman.
