What it’s like
The place. Yarrow Point is a very small town on the shore of Lake Washington, and nearly everyone who lives there owns their home. Homes here are valued far above what is typical across the country, and household incomes run well above King County's, with poverty rare. Almost all adults hold a four-year degree, and winters are cool and wet, with only a little snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in banks, insurance and property, with retail close behind. Commutes are fairly short, and a good many people work from home. Across King County, the largest workplaces include The Boeing Company, the University of Washington-Seattle Campus and Seattle Children's Hospital.
Things to do. Lake Washington lies in or beside town, which makes the waterfront the natural place to spend time. A short drive away are the Space Needle, one of the best known tourist attractions in the region, and Lumen Field, a stadium. The Museum of Pop Culture is also a short drive away for a day indoors.

Natural hazards
- EarthquakesRelatively high
- Inland floodingRelatively moderate
FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Yarrow Point’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
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 King County and the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA metro.
