Cougar is a tiny town located in the state of Washington. With a population of 118 people and two associated neighborhoods, Cougar is the second largest community in Washington.

Another notable thing is that Cougar is an extremely popular destination for tourists and seasonal residents. So much of the population is seasonal such that the town’s population swells significantly during the vacation season, and drops again when the season ends. Because of this, much of the local economy is centered around tourism; some businesses may be operated only during the high season. During the low season, year-round residents will notice that the city is a substantially quieter place to live.

Overall, Cougar’s crime rate is one of the lowest in the nation, which makes a great place to live if safety is an important concern.

The town is relatively quiet, having a combination of lower population density and few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. For example, Cougar has relatively fewer families with younger children, and/or college students. Combined, this makes Cougar a pretty quiet place to live overall. If you like quiet, you will probably enjoy it here.

One downside of living in Cougar, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 37.50 minutes every day commuting to work.

Being a small town, Cougar does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
