Insurance for Army Soldiers in Washington State

Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) near Tacoma is home to I Corps. Washington has no state income tax - a significant financial benefit for soldiers. However, the Tacoma/Seattle metro area has some of the highest auto insurance premiums in the western United States. Renters should also consider earthquake risk - a standard renters policy does not cover earthquake damage without an additional rider.
