Washington State Cities Population Density

In an attempt to prove a point to my wife, who claimed that Bainbridge Island was one of the top densest cities in Washington (I said Seattle was the densest city in the state), I pulled the data for population density for Washington State cities.

The top five densest citities in Washington (for 2012):

1. Seattle (King County, Population 616,500, Land Area 84 sq. mi.)

2. Mattawa (Grant County, Population 4,495, Land Area .69 sq. mi.)

3. Mountlake Terrace (Snohomish County, Population 20,090, Land Area 3.98 sq. mi.)

4. Burien (King County, Population 47,730, Land Area 9.92 sq. mi.)

5. Des Moines (King County, Population 29,700, Land Area 6.22 sq. mi.)

Population density ranking for Kitsap County (for 2012):

1. Poulsbo (ranked 91 overall in the state, Population 9,360, Land Area 4.75 sq. mi.)

2. Port Orchard (ranked 115 overall in the state, Population 11,780, Land Area 7.46 sq. mi.)

3. Bremerton (ranked 145 overall in the state, Population 39,650, Land Area 30 sq. mi.)
