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: 22.38% 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 a major vacation destination. Much of the town’s population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependent on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Loon Lake’s population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

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.
