Moscow is the county seat of Latah County in north Idaho, along the Washington/Idaho border. The city is the home of the University of Idaho, the land grant institution and primary research university for the state. Seven miles to the west is Pullman and Washington State University. While the University of Idaho is the dominant employer in Moscow, the city also serves as an agricultural and commercial hub for the Palouse region. As of the 2000 census, the city has a total population of 21,291. Moscow is the birthplace of Carol Ryrie Brink and singer Josh Ritter. Along with the rest of north Idaho, Moscow resides in the Pacific Time Zone.

Moscow is the principal city of the Moscow, ID Micropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Latah County.

There are seventeen neighborhood parks located throughout the town offering a wide variety of venues for outdoor activities. These parks fall under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Parks and Recreation Department. The Paradise Path Task Force is a citizen committee seeking to develop a system of linearly connected parks throughout the area. Carol Ryrie Brink Nature Park was a community collaboration between the Palouse Clearwater Environmental Institute and local volunteers to remeander Paradise Creek and add riparian plantings. The Moscow community, including schools and the city; led by local youth raised money over several years to fund, design, and build a skate park which was completed in 2000.

The Latah Trail extends from the eastern edge of the Moscow bike path system, while the Chipman Trail in Whitman County, Washington joins the western edge of the path. Eventually the project will provide a 22 mile linear park system from Troy, Idaho to Pullman, Washington.
