PEMCO news release addresses renters insurance

PEMCO Insurance issued a news release today concerning how many Washington residents carry renters insurance, and how many people inventory their personal property. Census data shows 35% of Washingtonians rent, and of those, a recent PEMCO Insurance Northwest Poll revealed 58% do not have renters insurance. This is important because renters insurance is so affordable – typically costing $125 to $150 per year – that more people should buy it. The poll also revealed that one in three homeowners and renters have never inventoried their personal property.

U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics says rented households were burglarized at rates 79 percent higher than owned households.

Rented households experienced 210 property crimes per 1,000 households nationwide, while owned households experienced only 146 property crimes per 1,000 households in 2001, the bureau reported.

White Center Thriving, Multicultural Neighborhood

Seattle Times recognized the White Center neighborhood last week as an excellent place to dine and shop! You can find excellent restaurants whether your palate prefers Cambodian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, or Mexican. You can also find Boba and Bubble Tea cafes. Personally, our favorite local bánh mì (Vietnamese Sandwich) spot is White Center Deli (1601 SW Roxbury St) but we also recommend Pho 99 Vietnamese Noodle House (9828 15th Ave SW). Both are within walking distance of our office located at 9614 17th Ave SW!

Did you know our White Center location is in the spirit with a multicultural staff! Stop in to meet Sim (Cambodia), Kenia (Mexico), and Michelle (Argentina).

Thank you, Gracias, Orkun
