About Boise
It's
easy to understand why Boise is earning a national reputation for its sublime
quality of life. With a metropolitan area population of a little more than
400,000, Idaho's capital city is a commercial center in the northwest region,
an outdoor enthusiast's paradise and a flourishing scene for arts and entertainment.
Known as the “City of Trees,” Boise also offers a
reasonable cost of living, low crime rate, excellent cultural programs, numerous
neighborhood parks and nearby national forests and rivers.
For many, work life in Boise is characterized by diverse
industries, like mining and logging or technology. The corporate community
includes Fortune 500 members: Hewlett Packard, Boise Cascade, Washington Group
International and Micron Technology. Leading employers also include state
government, universities, regional health centers and high tech companies.
When
it comes to enjoyment, there are many ways to “play” in
Boise. A charming downtown area delights residents with fine dining, theater,
dance clubs and live music. Summer nights are spent taking in performances
at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival or enjoying outdoor live concerts at the
Idaho Center. Other local treasures in recreation include the Bogus Basin Ski
Resort, Boise Art Museum, Discovery Kids Center, Boise Hawks Minor League Baseball,
Idaho Steelheads Minor League Hockey and Idaho Historical Museum. With these
kind of attributes, it's easy to see how one of the nation's best kept secrets
has become one of its finest treasures.
