Storm climate
Why Washington sees so many storm claims
The Pacific states are shaped less by hail than by wind and water: powerful winter wind and atmospheric-river storms drive rain intrusion and tree strikes across the Northwest and California, while heat and sun accelerate roof wear that a single wind event can expose. Across Washington's 39 counties, the roofs most exposed to wind and atmospheric-river rain see the heaviest claim volume during the winter wind-and-rain storm season.

Filing deadlines & deductibles in Washington
Reporting: Report storm damage to your insurer promptly, most policies require notice 'as soon as practicable' after the loss.
Deadline: The deadline to file and to sue on a property claim is set by your policy and your state's law, and varies widely. Don't wait: read your policy's 'suit against us' / claim-reporting clause and confirm with your state insurance department.
Deductibles: Many policies in storm-prone areas use a separate wind/hail deductible, a percentage (commonly 1%–5%) of your dwelling limit rather than a flat dollar amount. Check your declarations page.
General information, not legal advice — verify with Your state's Department of Insurance (search '[state] department of insurance storm claim'). For the full picture, read our claim time limits by state and roof deductibles guides.
