Washington Homeowners Insurance

Reviewed byPlaininsure Editorial, Homeowners Insurance Transparency Editorial Team · June 4, 2026

U.S. Treasury FIO data for 511 ZIP codes in Washington (WA).

Homeowners in Washington pay an average of $1,384 per year for home insurance — 22% below the national average of $1,776. That ranks Washington as the 35th most expensive state out of 51 for homeowners insurance. Between 2018 and 2022, premiums rose by 7.9%; nonrenewal rates climbed by 48.6% over the same period.

On five-year premium growth (2018–2022), Washington ranks 20th out of 51 states. Its nonrenewal rate (0.96%) ranks 28th out of 50 — nonrenewal is an early warning indicator of insurer retreat, often tied to disaster risk.

Data Snapshot: Washington Homeowners Insurance

Washington homeowners paid an average of $1,384 per year for home insurance based on U.S. Treasury FIO data covering 511 ZIP codes across the state. That is 22% below the national average of $1,776 per year reported by the Federal Insurance Office. Washington ranks 35th most expensive out of 51 states and territories on annual premium, with ZIP-level observations ranging from $903 in 98266 to $6,096 in 98039.

Between 2018 and 2022, average premiums rose by 7.9% in Washington, placing the state 20th nationally on five-year premium growth. The state-level loss ratio averaged 64.9%, meaning insurers retained a healthy margin after claims, typical of stable markets. Nonrenewal rates — the share of policies insurers decline to extend at expiration — averaged 0.96%, a climb of 48.6% over the study period (ranking 28th out of 50 states).

Within Washington, premium dispersion across ZIP codes is substantial: the most expensive ZIP (98039 in Medina) charges 575% more than the least expensive (98266 in Maple Falls), reflecting local differences in catastrophe exposure, construction costs, and claims history. The FIO dataset aggregates voluntary reporting from the 40 largest homeowners insurers covering roughly 80% of the U.S. market, so ZIP-level figures represent market averages rather than individual quotes; actual premiums vary with dwelling value, deductible, coverage limits, and insurer-specific underwriting. This page is for educational research only and is not insurance advice — homeowners should obtain quotes from multiple licensed carriers or an independent agent before purchasing or renewing coverage.
