How many Amish people live in the state of Washington?

Best Answers

None at the moment.

There is currently 1 Amish settlement of about 75 people in Idaho (not even displayed on the map above), the nearest population to Washington. However, in spite of their very traditional beliefs, their population continues to grow. While estimates are somewhat difficult, currently there are about 250,000 Amish living in the United States. read more
