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. Loon Lake has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Loon Lake, where the median household income is $76,250.00.

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: 28.53% 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.
