Washington Counties Risk Pool is a public agency created by interlocal agreement in 1988, to provide coverage for liability exposures of counties.

Our mission is:

• to provide comprehensive and economical risk coverage,
• reduce the frequency and severity of losses, and
• decrease costs incurred in the managing and litigation of claims.

Since its inception, the Pool has expanded its coverage to include property and public official surety bonds; member services also include various insurance services, training and loss control.

The Pool consists of 28 Member Counties, which together employ approximately 16,500 employees.

Our Board of Directors, composed of one representative from each Member County, governs the Pool and provides policy direction.

The Pool is committed to a proactive style of risk management techniques to prevent or reduce the frequency and severity of losses before they occur.
