State Highway 8 (ID-8) is an Idaho state highway in Latah and Clearwater counties, running from the Washington state line in Moscow to Elk River. It is 53.589 miles (86.24 km) in length, and runs primarily east–west.
SH-8 begins at the Washington state line, connecting with Washington State Route 270 to Pullman. Between the cities to the north is the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport. The two state highways comprise the "Moscow-Pullman Highway" in the 8 miles (13 km) between the two university cities.
In Moscow, Highway 8 runs east along the northern boundary of the University of Idaho campus as Pullman Road, enters an "S" curve and becomes Third Street. It briefly overlaps US 95, and runs south through the city center (one ways: Jackson St. southbound and Washington St. northbound; a block on either side of Main). South of downtown Moscow, SH-8 branches east to become the "Troy Highway" and heads out to Troy, where it intersects SH-99. East of Troy, SH-8 heads generally northeast, intersecting SH-9 shortly before entering Deary and overlapping SH-3 in Deary. From Deary, the overlapping highways run east and northeast to Bovill, where they diverge.
