The devastation across our Spokane communities this weekend is difficult to put into words.
As I've watched the images come in, I haven't been thinking about insurance policies first. I've been thinking about the things you can't simply replace.
Family photos.
Christmas ornaments collected over decades.
A grandfather's workshop.
The quilt your grandmother made.
The home where your kids grew up.
The box of keepsakes you always meant to organize someday.
When a home burns, it isn't just a structure that's lost. It's the backdrop of a family's story.
I've spent more than twenty years helping families through fire claims, and I know the days ahead can feel impossible. There will be questions, paperwork, phone calls, decisions, and moments when you don't know what to do next.
So if you're affected by these fires—whether you're my client or not—and you need someone to explain your homeowners policy, help you understand what your insurance company is telling you, or simply answer questions in plain English, please reach out.
There is no obligation. No sales pitch. No expectation that you'll ever become a client.
I simply don't want anyone trying to navigate one of the hardest weeks of their life feeling like they have to do it alone.
Right now, take care of yourself. Take care of your family. The paperwork can be handled one step at a time.
I'm deeply grateful for every firefighter, law enforcement officer, emergency responder, volunteer, and neighbor who has worked tirelessly to protect lives and homes. Spokane has always been a community that shows up for one another, and I believe we'll continue to do that in the days and weeks ahead.
If you know someone affected by these fires, please feel free to share this with them. If all I can offer is a conversation that brings a little clarity during an incredibly difficult time, I'm more than willing to help.
