Over 125 Years of Thoughtful Coverage
We come from humble beginnings.
In 1898, in the small town of Enumclaw, Washington, a group of residents joined together to create the Farmers’ Mutual Insurance Company. When bad things happened losses were tallied and each member paid their respective share.
The company focused on serving farms throughout Washington State up until the late 1940’s when it began to offer insurance for families.
In 1952, the company moved into Oregon and Idaho.
In 1963, the company began to offer commercial insurance for main street business throughout Oregon, Idaho, and Washington.
On May 1, 1966, the name of the company was changed to Mutual of Enumclaw Insurance Company.

Steady growth continued into the new millennium.
In the summer of 2002, Mutual of Enumclaw expanded into Utah.
In December 2002, Enumclaw Property and Casualty Insurance Company launched in Washington to help us grow into new markets and to offer new and innovative products.

A history of thoughtful coverage.
We were founded in 1898 by a group of local farmers who wanted to look out for each other. Although we have steadily grown since then, that same spirit exists today.
