We are so ready to celebrate all things Pride in Idaho, but were curious how many trans friends, family, and neighbors we have here in the Gem State. Since going door-to-door and asking every single person would be 1) Very weird, and 2) Massively inappropriate, we’re not going to do that! Also, that sounds like a lot of work. We left the heavy lifting to the professionals.
Now, to be completely clear, these numbers represent how many people openly identify as transgender. That being said, the numbers from the Williams Institute are pretty eye-opening!
According to their research, as of 2022, Idaho is home to upwards of 8,000 people ages 13+ who identify themselves as being transgender. For those at home playing along without a calculator, that adds up to just about 1% of all people in the state of Idaho!
Now that you know, let’s all get ready for Pride Month with a handy little guide on how you can be a better friend, neighbor, and ally!

Shari's restaurant abruptly closes in Idaho Falls – East Idaho News
![Shari's restaurant abruptly closes in Idaho Falls – East Idaho News Shari's restaurant abruptly closes in Idaho Falls – East Idaho News](https://s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets.eastidahonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/IMG_6428.jpg)
IDAHO FALLS — Shari’s in Idaho Falls abruptly closed this week with no plans of reopening.
The restaurant, located on Broadway Street right off the I-15 exits, served its final meals on Wednesday. Employees tell EastIdahoNews.com they were notified Sunday that the eatery would be closing.
Customers are now greeted with a sign taped on the doors that says, “To our Idaho Falls Guests: We appreciate your patronage. Please note that this location is permanently closed. We invite you to visit us at our other locations. Sincerely, Shari’s.”
It’s unknown why the Idaho Falls location suddenly shuttered but the last Shari’s in Tacoma, Washington also stopped operating this week. The Lewiston, Idaho restaurant went dark at the end of May and Shari’s in Boise closed in April after 30 years, according to the Idaho Statesman.
Shari’s opened its first restaurant in 1978 and is the largest family-style brand in the Pacific Northwest, according to the company’s website. It’s headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon and has restaurants in California, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming. The last four remaining Shari’s in Idaho are in Twin Falls, Garden City, Meridian and Nampa.
Messages left at Shari’s corporate office have not been returned.

Hey Rocky, think you saw Bullwinkle? Idaho Fish and Game confirms 2 moose in Boise area
A couple of moose have taken up residence in the greater Boise area this summer, Idaho Fish and Game told the Idaho Statesman on Thursday.
A young bull moose was spotted this week around Barber Park near the intersection of South Millbrook Way and East Warm Springs Avenue in Southeast Boise, and another moose has been living near Hidden Springs in the northwest Boise Foothills most of the summer.
Neither moose poses an immediate threat to those communities, a Fish and Game spokesperson said, but residents should still take precautions to avoid an encounter.
Here are some guidelines from Idaho Fish and Game regarding moose:
▪ Keep a distance of at least 50 yards.
▪ Moose view dogs as predators and can react aggressively. Dog owners should avoid the areas where moose have been spotted, and homeowners should make sure their dogs are contained.
▪ If a moose is seen on the roadway, slow down and avoid creating a traffic hazard.
▪ Watch for body language that indicates a moose is stressed, such as ears down or hair on its neck standing up. They may also stomp their front hooves and grunt or snort.
