The place. Cusick is a very small town in Pend Oreille County, in the northeast corner of Washington. Homes here cost less than the typical American home, and household incomes across the county are modest. Unemployment across the county has eased a little compared with a year earlier, though the number of jobs has slipped slightly.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, the building trades and manufacturing. Among the largest workplaces across the county are Newport Community Hospital, the Newport School District and the Cusick School District.
Things to do. Davis Creek runs in or beside town, and Kent Creek is a short drive away.

From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Pend Oreille County.
