Washington builds aircraft, runs a major share of the world's cloud infrastructure, and trades through deep-water ports, all under the country's most distinctive workers' compensation system: a state monopoly that charges premiums by hours worked rather than payroll. Cascadia seismic risk sits underneath everything.
The exposures ARIA weighs first when it reads a Washington business. State perils, state statutes, and the market structure built around them.
Orientation, not legal advice. These are the state-specific rules that change how coverage must be structured before any quote means anything.
Every business needs the core stack. These are the lines where this state's perils, statutes, or market structure raise the stakes.
Stop-gap employers liability rides on the GL in a monopolistic state.

ARIA carries an exposure model for each industry below, tuned with Washington perils and statutes layered on top.
RiskMind places Washington business through the Smart Choice network of national, regional, and wholesale carriers. ARIA matches your industry and lines against researched carrier appetite, so your submission goes to markets that actually want your class, in your state.
Through the state monopoly, L&I, with premiums computed on hours worked by risk class rather than payroll. Private comp policies do not exist here. Employers manage cost through claims management and L&I's retrospective-rating programs, and they add stop-gap employers liability to the GL.
The Cascadia scenario is regional and severe, and the peril is excluded from standard forms. For operations with concentrated facilities or unreinforced masonry, coverage deserves serious evaluation, paired with contingent business income, because in a regional event your suppliers and customers are affected too.
Tech E&O and cyber sized to customer SLA exposure, D&O at funding milestones, GL with Washington stop-gap wording, L&I registration in good standing, and property with the earthquake decision made deliberately. The stop-gap detail is the one out-of-state programs miss.
ARIA pre-loads the Washington risk profile the moment you click. State perils, the statutes that apply, and the carriers in appetite for your class.
