Earthquake Insurance Washington - McClain Insurance Services Inc Everett, WA

Stand-Alone Washington State Earthquake Insurance

It’s no secret. Here in Washington State, we live on shaky grounds. Tectonic plates are moving and shifting underneath our feet, and although that’s what’s creating landscapes as beautiful as the Olympic Mountains, they are also causing deadly catastrophes.

An earthquake could strike anywhere, at any time, and without any warning as it did in Washington State in early 2001. That’s why it is crucial to protect yourself with Earthquake Insurance if you live in the Pacific Northwest.

Now is the time to call McClain Insurance for your Earthquake coverage. Because we represent a wide variety of insurance companies, you’ll have many options choose from. You can also get the process started online right here on our website.

New Earthquake Fault Lines Discovered

here is the “Big One” that’s still out there and decades overdue. The last time, this happened in 1700 when plates shifted offshore, causing a midnight tremor that lasted over 5 minutes and all but destroyed native villages and communities on Washington’s and Oregon’s coastlines and around the Puget Sound.

There are the dozens of intangible ‘mini-quakes’ that happen in our region every week. (Need proof? Visit the Earthquake Tracker for Seattle and the Pacific Northwest for an eye-opening real-time map.)

And then, there are the many shallow seismic faults that are being discovered by state and federal geologists that have the potential to cause extensive damage and loss of life. The recent discovery of these fault lines lead to the assumption that virtually no part of Washington State is immune from earthquake damage.
