About Us
The Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA) is a municipal organization of Washington public entities that join together for the purpose of providing liability and property financial protection to its members.
Formed in 1981, as the first liability risk pool in Washington State, we have provided over 40 years' experience in comprehensive Coverages, Claims Administration, Financial Stability, and Risk Management Services. WCIA has evolved from the original nine members to a financially strong liability and property pool of over 165 members, with one common goal; to assist members in managing risk.
We are a member-driven organization, allowing our members complete control of every operational aspect. We extend generous services to our members such as risk management education and comprehensive risk field services. These services combined with claims and litigation assistance, allow the WCIA team to respond effectively to member needs. All of this makes for a complete pre and post loss management program.
Contact us if you are interested in the "insured's running the insurance company" concept.
