About Ione
Tucked along the Pend Oreille River in northeastern Washington, Ione is a quiet community of around 400 residents. The town sits deep in the Selkirk Mountains, surrounded by evergreen hills, winding creeks, and open water. It is an appealing spot for anyone looking for mountain scenery, easy access to boating and fishing, and a relaxed pace away from city crowds.
Families here are served by the Selkirk School District, sharing regional schools with neighboring Metaline and Metaline Falls. While Ione spent most of the twentieth century as a busy timber hub, the modern town is much calmer, with local employment centered around regional utility operations, public services, and outdoor recreation. It offers a simple, close-knit rural lifestyle set against a dramatic Pacific Northwest backdrop.
