Rates in Washington
Typical annual rates start from $420 (based on plans from $35/mo)
Washington homeowners enjoy relatively low average premiums, but earthquake risk adds a consideration most other states don't face. Standard policies exclude earthquake damage — a separate policy or endorsement is needed. The Seattle metro's high home values also drive up rebuild costs and coverage requirements. Rain-related moisture damage is common in western Washington.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is home insurance in Washington?
The average Washington homeowner pays about $1,200/year ($100/mo). Rates range from $70/mo in eastern WA to $130+/mo in high-value Seattle neighborhoods.
Does Washington home insurance cover earthquakes?
No. Earthquake damage is excluded from standard policies. A separate earthquake policy is available and strongly recommended for western Washington homeowners.
Is earthquake insurance worth it in Washington?
Given the Cascadia Subduction Zone risk and Seattle's proximity to fault lines, earthquake insurance is highly recommended for western WA homeowners. Costs vary from $200–$800/year depending on location and construction.
Does home insurance cover rain and moisture damage?
Standard policies cover sudden water damage (burst pipe, storm damage). They do not cover gradual moisture intrusion, mold from deferred maintenance, or flooding from rising water (requires separate flood insurance).
Is flood insurance required in Washington?
Only in FEMA-designated flood zones with federally-backed mortgages. However, western Washington's heavy rainfall and river systems make flood coverage worth considering in many areas.
How can I lower my Washington home insurance?
Bundling with auto, installing earthquake retrofitting, updating roofing, and comparing carriers are the most effective strategies. Seismic upgrades can reduce earthquake policy costs.
