Protect You Along the Way
It's the differences that matter

It's the differences that matter
So often we look & compare the similarities in making a decision on what is a good value. A wise woman once told me its the unique qualities not similarities that are the true measure of a good value.
Do I have enough insurance to protect my home and assets if I have an accident from being at risk or am I simply abiding by the state minimum requirements?
What if I cannot work any longer what protection can I afford to help provide for my monthly needs?
Have I enough to ensure that I can retire comfortably some day without worry?
Will the mortgage be paid off on my home should I live the family sooner than anyone thought was possible?
This are just some of the planning we provide to protect you along the way.
25 years together

On January 27th, 1996, Traci & I were married in the town she grew up in Yakima, WA. Later this year we plan to take a trip to Kona to celebrate our Silver Anniversary of 25 years.
Traci & I raised our 3 girls in Lake Stevens, WA where we lived from 1999 until 2018 when we graduated our last from high school and sent her off to college at Whitworth in Spokane.
Many of you know my second daughter, Paityn as she is the Service & Office Manager at Kaiser Insurance. She first joined us while attending WWU, then stayed on to look after our 1700 families & businesses, full time after graduation. She is an incredible asset to our customers. Our eldest is pursuing her doctoral studies at George Washington University in DC to become a Physical Therapist.
Family is most important

If a tree falls in a windstorm...
In 1988, my father started his second career after serving over 20 years in the US Army.
He pursued the noble profession of seeking protection for families faced with uncertainty of loss by providing life insurance. If you have life insurance through work that is great.
When you leave your job in most cases the life insurance does not retire with you it just stops. Find out how we can ensure your family stays in the family home despite the loss of main provider.
When my father passed away on April 29th, 2019, he provided his best friend and partner, my mother, with the gift of knowing she would be financially supported in part because he planned with Life Insurance many years before.

If a tree falls in a windstorm...
Just last month the Whatcom County windstorm wreaked havoc on many of our insured and their homes. One family in Bellingham had their neighbor's trampoline fly out of one yard into hers and damaged many windows.
Who is responsible for the repairs, you or the neighbor?
This short video took place at my previous Lake Stevens home, 13 days after I acquired my agency, Nov 13, 2017. All the power, cable, internet may have been knocked out by these mammoth trees but the house was spared. Watch to the end as I promise you will see something you will likely never see again in your lifetime. This video has had 7.1 million FB views at the time of this posting. We received no compensation if you were wondering. The star, Paul Bunyan role is my dear friend and insured, John T.
He would probably suggest not trying this at home.
In most cases most insurance carriers claims department would view a falling tree from a windstorm as an "Act of God".
What does that mean if it hits my house?
If a professional Arborist certifies the tree diseased does that change the liability of whose insurance cover any House damage?
You have a local agent to assist in navigating these and other complicated questions.
If a local agent acting as your advocate can protect your family and save you money does it make sense to only work with an 800 number?

I am always amazed that so many families do not know that reasonable priced exceptional coverage plans are available for just about any monthly budget. Both Harlie and Tank, pictured here have had a plan since soon after they were brought home from Baker Winds Goldens here in Whatcom County. Ask us about EMBRACE today.
ASK ABOUT HAGERTY FOR CLASSICS
Many of you may have a classic car or boat that needs protection that also preserves the collectability value for you.
Additionally Hagerty will also insure newer vehicles for less that are not daily driven automobiles. Maybe you have a truck or sports car that gets used an average of a couple nice weather days a month. Ask about how much we can save you on that gem.
NEW TO WASHINGTON STATE
What if an endorsement existed for you would replace your totaled vehicle with a new or same year model?
This ensures the insurance carrier is shouldering the burden of depreciation rather than you.
This is available for most vehicles for under $25 per six months even on a brand new car or truck in 2021.
Did you know we also can provide an Auto Policy that charges you less when you drive less?
Ask us about when you contact us below.
