Living in Loon Lake



Loon Lake is a tiny town located in the state of Washington. With a population of 898 people and two associated neighborhoods, Loon Lake is the 274th largest community in Washington.

Housing costs in Loon Lake are among some of the highest in the nation, although real estate prices here don't compare to real estate prices in the most expensive communities in Washington.

Of important note, Loon Lake is also a town of artists. Loon Lake has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Loon Lake’s character.

Telecommuters are a relatively large percentage of the workforce: 27.60% of people work from home. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce it is high relative to the nation. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.

Another notable thing is that Loon Lake is an extremely popular vacation destination. A significant portion of the population is seasonal. During the vacation season, the town experiences a large influx of people who take up residence in second homes they own in the area. As the vacation season ends, the population drops again, leaving behind a substantially quieter and smaller town.

Residents will find that the town is relatively quiet. This is because it is not over-populated, and it has fewer college students, renters, and young children - all of whom can be noisy at times. So, if you're looking for a relatively peaceful place to live, Loon Lake is worth considering.

One downside of living in Loon Lake is that it can take a long time to commute to work. In Loon Lake, the average commute to work is 37.42 minutes, which is quite a bit higher than the national average.
