Serving PEMCO Mutual Insurance Company at 1300 Dexter Ave N, Suite 300, Seattle
PEMCO Mutual Insurance Company, headquartered in Seattle's South Lake Union district at 1300 Dexter Avenue North, Suite 300, Seattle, WA 98109, is one of Washington's largest regional auto, homeowner, and umbrella insurers. Because PEMCO is a domestic Washington mutual insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Washington—rather than a foreign out-of-state corporation—service of process on PEMCO follows a completely different statutory rule than out-of-state insurers.
Under RCW 4.28.080(7)(b) and RCW 23.95.450, when suing a domestic Washington insurance company (such as in an Underinsured Motorist [UIM] breach of contract action, Personal Injury Protection [PIP] dispute, or Insurance Fair Conduct Act [IFCA] claim under RCW 48.30.015), service of the Summons and Complaint is made directly on the company's registered agent or corporate officers/legal intake at 1300 Dexter Avenue North, Suite 300, Seattle, WA 98109—not at the Office of the Insurance Commissioner in Tumwater.
Serving Auto Claim File, Photo & Estimate Subpoenas Under CR 45
In addition to first-party lawsuits against PEMCO, Washington personal injury and civil litigation attorneys frequently serve third-party CR 45 Subpoenas Duces Tecum on PEMCO Mutual Insurance Company at 1300 Dexter Avenue North, Suite 300 when PEMCO insured one of the vehicles or properties involved in an accident.
When serving a records subpoena on PEMCO for high-resolution property damage photographs, total-loss valuation reports, repair estimates, recorded witness statements, or PIP payment ledgers, clearly reference the PEMCO Claim Number, Policy Number, Date of Loss, and the full name of the PEMCO insured on the face of your subpoena schedule so PEMCO's legal intake team can route the subpoena immediately to the assigned claims unit.

Frequently Asked Questions: PEMCO Mutual Insurance (Seattle HQ)
Why is PEMCO served in Seattle while State Farm or Allstate must be served at the OIC in Tumwater?
Under RCW 48.05.200 and RCW 4.28.080(7), only "foreign or alien" (out-of-state) insurers appoint the WA Insurance Commissioner in Tumwater as their exclusive statutory agent. Because PEMCO Mutual Insurance Company is a domestic Washington insurer incorporated in WA, RCW 4.28.080(7)(b) requires serving PEMCO directly at its corporate office/registered agent in Seattle.
Can you serve a 20-day IFCA (Insurance Fair Conduct Act) notice on PEMCO at 1300 Dexter Ave N?
Yes, we can hand-deliver physical copies of IFCA notifications and litigation packets directly to PEMCO's legal intake at 1300 Dexter Avenue North, Suite 300 (in addition to your mandatory OIC IFCA filing under RCW 48.30.015).
