The Gulch Countdown never disappoints ☀️🏃‍♀️

This weekend's race had it all - perfect weather, lots of new faces taking on the race and a fun time with an incredible community. We're always grateful to support this race!

This year Ada ran her first Countdown (!) after helping Nick mark the course on Friday night. Congrats, Ada!

The volunteer crew was a McClain Insurance friends-and-family affair: August and Meghan worked the timing table and Aja and Wendy (Meghan's aunt and a McClain client) kept runners on course in the woods.

We're already looking forward to next year! If you want to learn more about this unique race, visit https://gulchcountdown.com. 🌲

Let's hear it for all the runners and families who participated in Girls on the Run of Snohomish County's Celebration 5K yesterday! 🙌

We got there bright and early to cheer on the runners, coaches and fans before the race. As always, the GOTR crowd did not disappoint, with costumes, music and tons of team spirit!

Thanks for letting us be a part of this special event. And thanks to our clients for helping us support our community partners!

It's a big week around here! 🎉

Today is Claudia's birthday. Tomorrow is Meghan's birthday. And this month marks Meghan's 6-year McClain-iversary!

Claudia built McClain Insurance from the ground up back in 1977. The values, relationships, and community spirit that continue to guide us today all started with her. We're so grateful for her leadership and vision!

Meghan keeps all the behind-the-scenes pieces moving. From communications and technology to community partnerships and team support, she helps make sure our agents have what they need to serve clients well.

Happy birthday, Claudia! Happy birthday, Meghan! And cheers to 6 years! 🎂🥳🎈

Tuesday Testimonial ⭐

“Can’t speak highly enough! Aja was super helpful and efficient. 10/10 recommend, I’ve been with McClain for years.” — Halle

We're so grateful for clients like Halle, who's been with us since 2008. We think long-time relationships like that say a lot about the people behind the policies - like Aja. 💙

Our incredible service agents spend a lot of time getting to know clients and helping them with their policies through life's changes. Aja is a natural: friendly, organized, genuinely caring, and always ready to help.

Meet our newest officemate! 🐾

Caitlin’s pup, Russ, is on strict orders to rest after a recent surgery, so he’s been spending part of his recovery hanging out at our office and soaking up attention from the whole McClain Insurance team.

If you've got a four-legged BFF in your life, you know how quickly unexpected vet bills can pop up for the pets we love.

That’s why we offer pet insurance options for dogs and cats, with coverage available for things like accidental injuries, illnesses, behavioral therapy and more. Some plans also include wellness coverage for prescriptions, flea & tick prevention and routine care.

Last Thursday we attended one of our favorite events of the year: Cocoon House's Butterfly Celebration.

This special evening honors the youth who have moved through Cocoon House's housing, education and outreach programs, as well as the incredible staff members who mentor and support them along the way.

We were especially moved by Caitlin Rose, a Cocoon House alum who shared how her life was changed by the services and support she received as a teen. Watch her story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAo2RUKmX8c

We're celebrating another McClain-inversary on this beautiful Tuesday: Ann Franklin has been with our agency for 8 years! 🤩

Ann's parents were McClain clients long before she became an agent. It's been an honor watching her grow in the industry and now seeing her sharing her experience and knowledge with others. Ann brings joy, warmth and creativity to her role every day and we're grateful to have her on our team.

Congrats on 8 years, Ann!

Today we're celebrating 19 years with Laura Paradis! 👏

Laura has been a steady, knowledgeable presence on our McClain Insurance team for nearly two decades.

Clients consistently tell us how thorough she is and how easy she makes the process. She takes the time to get to know each of them and to answer all of their questions.

Laura is also the kind of teammate every office hopes for: reliable, thoughtful, and generous with her time and expertise.

If you haven’t worked with Laura yet, you can get to know her here: https://mcclainteam.co/laura

Congrats on 19 years, Laura. We’re glad you’re here!

RV season is here 🚐☀️

Before you hit the road, here’s a quick story from one of our longtime clients:

They had just retired and took their brand-new truck and trailer out for their first camping trip in eastern Washington. A strong side wind flipped the truck and trailer—totaling both and leaving them injured.

Fortunately, Nick had set them up with a specialized RV policy that protected the value of their brand-new trailer. That made a tough situation a whole lot easier to navigate.

Nick explains what happened here:

If you’re heading out soon, it’s worth taking a quick look at your coverage:
