The Washington Market for Insurance Agents
Washington is a high-income Pacific Northwest market with strong middle-market IUL and term demand. The Price Group writes business across the state, with most agent activity concentrated in Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, Vancouver, and Bellevue. Because TPG runs a fully remote, telesales-first model, Washington agents work from home and serve every county on the map, not just their local metro. Final expense is the entry product most Washington agents start with because lead flow is consistent and average premium fits a wide range of senior budgets, and term, whole life, and Medicare Supplement cross-sells follow naturally as the book matures.
