Washington Earthquake Insurance

A basic Washington homeowners or condominium insurance policy does not
cover earthquake damage. Coverage is available either in the form of an
endorsement or as a separate policy. Even if you don't live in a part of
Washington state where earthquakes are common, you should still consider
earthquake insurance.

Washington earthquake insurance offers protection from the shaking and
cracking that can destroy buildings and personal property.

Earthquake insurance rates are determined differently by each insurance
company and pricing can vary widely depending on several important factors
about your home and where you live in Washington. For instance, wood homes
usually survive earthquakes better than brick and therefore receive lower rates
than brick homes. In addition, homes located in areas more prone to
earthquakes see that reflected in their Washington earthquake insurance rates.

Some insurance companies will require an inspection of your property before
agreeing to issue an earthquake insurance policy. Many insurance companies
require that your Washington home be bolted to its foundation. Other factors
are evaluated about your home in determining the cost of insuring you. They
may include the following:

1. location and bracing of interior walls

2. strapping guards to secure fixtures such as water heaters

3. how shelves are mounted on walls

Each year, more Washington home owners get rid of their earthquake
coverage than buy it because, according to consumer groups, the
insurance policies cost too much and offer too little protection. Less than
10% of Washington home owners have earthquake insurance, even
though Washington state residents live in an active region for significant
sized earthquakes. Talk with us about your homes earthquake insurance
