Ridgefield is the fastest-growing city in the state once again.

According to U.S. Census Bureau information put out on Thursday, Ridgefield’s population grew 13 percent between 2016 and 2017, the highest rate of any city in Washington. The city also claimed the fastest-growing crown from 2013 to 2014.

The city’s population increased from 7,041 in 2016 to 7,959 in 2017, according to the Census data. The only other city in the state with double digit percentage growth over that time was Nespelem, which increased 11.8 percent, from 280 residents in 2016 to 313 in 2017.

The Census data also show growth in cities back to 2010, and Ridgefield dwarfs the rest of the state in that time frame. Since 2010, Ridgefield’s population has grown 65 percent, up from 4,824 in 2010. Nespelem once again came in second, increasing its population 34.9 percent since 2010, up from 232 in 2010.

Ridgefield’s growth isn’t showing signs of slowing down, something Ridgefield School District Superintendent Nathan McCann is well award of.

The district is predicting enrollment will increase 47 percent over the next four years.

“That’s pretty prolific growth,” McCann said. “It’s so staggering.”

The district has just shy of 3,000 students right now, up from roughly 2,100 when McCann joined the district four years ago. To help with the overcrowding, the district is opening a new grade 5-8 campus in the fall; however, it will be near capacity on its first day. The school will hold roughly 1,250 students.
