These Were the Ten Most Viewed Idaho Stories in 2025

2025 is a week in our past, and many people don’t want to look back. They have their eyes set on the future with goals to make 2026 better. However, we like to test our memories to remind ourselves of the many great and sad things that happened in the previous year.

We went through all the content produced on our websites in 2025 to see what stories were most interesting to our readers. There was a good variety of topics, but business closures and natural disasters seemed to be of interest to the most people.

Check Out The Top 10 Stories of 2025 in Idaho

Going through the list of content, I was surprised at what stories didn’t make the most-viewed list. Big restaurant announcements for In-N-Out Burger and Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers didn’t make the list, despite a clear interest from the public. Dozens of deadly accidents on Idaho highways were reported in 2025, but none of them got the pageviews that these ten stories did.

The list is ranked from the top story, getting right to the biggest one, and then down to number 10. You can click on the picture to go to the original story for more details, or you can just read the brief paragraph under each ranking.

Are any of those stories a surprise, or is there a story you thought would be on the list but wasn’t?
