About Five-0-Nine Insurance · Spokane · Yakima · Walla Walla
An independent agency that helps you understand your options
Being independent means we represent multiple carriers and products rather than one company's shelf. That gives us room to find what actually fits you, and time to explain why it fits.

Why independent matters
More choices. More ways to find the right fit.
Insurance is not one-size-fits-all. Different companies offer different plans, benefits, networks and pricing. As an independent agency, we work with multiple insurance companies. That gives us the ability to compare options and help you find coverage that fits your needs, budget and stage of life, not just one company's lineup.

How this works
What a consultation actually is
About an hour. Bring your questions.
We start with your situation
What you have now, what you are worried about, and what you need the coverage to actually do. We listen first, then we explain what your options mean.
We explain the options in plain language
Including the ones that are not right for you, and why. If a term does not make sense, we will keep going until it does.
You decide, and there is no obligation
Nothing gets decided in the first meeting unless you want it to. Plenty of people leave knowing more and enroll somewhere else, and that is fine.
We educate before we recommend
We take the time to explain your options and answer your questions, then make recommendations so you can decide what feels right for you.
We will always be honest
If nothing we represent is right for you, we will say so and point you somewhere else. What fits you always comes first.
We answer the phone
Our relationship doesn't end after enrollment. Questions, coverage help or an issue, give us a call. We're here year-round to help and advocate for you.
Three offices across Eastern Washington
All three offices are by appointment, so you get the time you booked rather than a waiting room. Pick an office to see where it is, then call (509) 979-2578 or send us a message on contact page and we will find you a time.

Questions about how we work
The ones people ask before they decide whether to call us.
Yes. We are actively taking on new clients across Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Michigan.
There is typically no additional cost to work with us. As independent insurance agents, we are generally compensated by the insurance carriers we represent.
Our role is to help you understand your options, answer your questions, and help you look at the bigger picture of your health insurance and protection planning.
Yes. As independent insurance agents, we work with multiple established insurance carriers and offer a variety of insurance products.
That lets us look beyond a single company or a single type of coverage, and help you consider options that fit your lifestyle, your budget, your family and your overall protection needs.
We offer a broad range of health and protection options for individuals, families, small businesses and retirees. That includes individual and ACA health insurance, life insurance, disability and income protection, accident coverage, cancer, hospital indemnity, heart attack and stroke coverage, dental and vision, long term care planning, employee benefits, and Medicare coverage.
Absolutely. Insurance and protection needs change through every season of life. You may be buying your own health insurance, starting a family, protecting your income or your business, building a financial safety net, planning for retirement, creating a legacy, or looking for ways to help protect the next generation.
Our goal is to look at the bigger picture, meaning health insurance, life insurance, income protection, supplemental coverage, long term care planning and more, and to help your coverage evolve as your life does. We want to be a resource you can turn to along the way.
