Freeland is a census-designated place (CDP) in Island County, Washington, United States. The population was 1,313 at the 2000 census. The town received its name based on its origins as a commune in the early 1900s—literally, in the eyes of its socialist founders, the land of the town was to be free for all people. (Some of the first settlers were veterans of a prior experiment in socialism, the nearby Equality Colony.)
