Well, there are stories set there, if you don't mind the fact that they usually take place after the Apocalypse. The one springing to mind first is in S.M. Stirling's second Change series, where Boise as a city survived the end of technology (literally--it stops running, ala the book Ariel, which unfortunately does take place in New York City) and the "president" is trying to rebuild the United States (though only controls a little bit of Idaho).
