Home insurance in Washington: wildfire risk
Washington homeowners pay 19% below the national average for home insurance, with wildfire risk being a significant pricing factor in many parts of the state. Some insurers have reduced or eliminated coverage in high-risk fire zones, making it important to shop carefully and consider state-backed FAIR Plan options if private coverage is difficult to obtain.
Homeowners can reduce premiums through defensible space improvements, fire-resistant roofing materials, and a clean claims history.
