Posted on by admin


If you’ve ever walked outside, thought, ‘It’s too peoplely out here’, and then went back inside. Then you might be ready for a scenery change that could affect your whole life. Why not pull up stakes and move to a place where no one really is living. Like one of these least populated small towns in Washington.

Only 605 people, just 9 years prior to that (according to the Office of Financial Management). But is my hometown still so sparsely populated that it made this list? Maybe back then, but highly doubtful today.
