To those of you who have received your homeowners and auto insurance renewal notices, please accept my condolences. To you who have yet to receive your renewal notices, you better buckle up.
We just received ours last week. The homeowners policy went up 45 percent. The auto policy went up 38 percent. We have not had a claim in over 35 years. Our Washington Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler is to blame for these exorbitant increases. He bypassed the Legislature and made his own ruling telling the insurance companies they can no longer use a customer’s credit score to determine their insurance premiums. I will not be supporting Mike Kreidler in the next election.
