While not legally required, earthquake insurance is highly recommended for Federal Way homeowners. The city sits near the Cascadia Subduction Zone, one of the most significant seismic threats in North America. Standard homeowners policies explicitly exclude earthquake damage, and with median home values around $582,000, the $147 average annual cost for earthquake coverage in Washington is a small price for protecting such a significant investment.
Federal Way homeowners typically pay between $1,200 and $1,600 per year for home insurance, well below the national average of $1,687. Your actual cost depends on your home's value, age, condition, your credit score, claims history, and coverage limits. For a home at Federal Way's median value of around $582,000, expect to pay toward the higher end of that range with adequate dwelling coverage.
Federal Way has low flood risk compared to nearby cities like Auburn and Kent, according to the Washington Department of Ecology. Most Federal Way homeowners don't need flood insurance. However, if your specific property is in a lower-lying area, near water features, or if your lender requires it, flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program is relatively affordable in low-risk zones.
Standard policies exclude earthquake and flood damage—both relevant risks in the Pacific Northwest. They also typically don't cover damage from lack of maintenance, normal wear and tear, or intentional damage. Some policies may have limitations on landslide coverage despite Federal Way's hilly terrain and heavy rainfall. Always review your policy's exclusions and consider endorsements for gaps in coverage.
Yes, several strategies can reduce your premiums: bundle your home and auto insurance with the same carrier, increase your deductible if you have adequate emergency savings, install security or fire detection systems, maintain a claims-free history, and shop around annually for competitive rates. Nationwide, USAA, Allstate, and Mutual of Enumclaw often offer competitive rates in Washington.
Washington state law does not require homeowners to carry insurance. However, if you have a mortgage—which most Federal Way homeowners do—your lender will require you to maintain homeowners insurance as a condition of the loan. Even without a mortgage requirement, insurance is essential protection for an asset worth half a million dollars or more.
