Strategic Acquisition of Michelman Insurance Reinforces AAA Washington’s Commitment to Local Service and Expands Insurance Offerings

AAA Washington is proud to announce the acquisition of Michelman Insurance Agency, an independent, family-operated insurance provider serving the Kenmore community since 1997.  This strategic acquisition underscores AAA Washington’s commitment to fostering strong relationships with local agencies and ensuring continuity of care for their valued clients. 

The acquisition enhances AAA Washington’s insurance portfolio and reinforces its commitment to delivering comprehensive and personalized service to members across the region. By welcoming Michelman Insurance Agency’s business, AAA Washington continues to strengthen its role as a trusted resource for clients and members alike seeking exceptional coverage. 

“Acquisitions like this allow us to deepen our roots in the community while providing smaller agencies with an opportunity to transition their business into capable, caring hands,” said Michael Riley, Vice President of Sales at AAA Washington. “We’re thrilled to welcome the Michelman Insurance Agency and their legacy of service excellence into the AAA Washington family. Their values align perfectly with our mission of providing trusted and comprehensive insurance solutions.” 

Known for its high retention rates and fully cross-sold accounts with robust liability limits, Michelman Insurance Agency has developed a reputation for exceptional client care. In addition, their carrier lineup mirrors AAA Washington’s offerings, including partnerships with AAA Insurance Company, Mutual of Enumclaw, Cincinnati, Safeco, and others. 

As part of the transition, AAA Washington has integrated Michelman Insurance’s operations and personnel into its existing structure, ensuring continuity of service and a seamless experience for Michelman’s longstanding clientele. The transition has been designed to preserve the strong relationships Michelman Insurance cultivated within the community while leveraging AAA Washington’s resources and expertise. 

This acquisition reflects AAA Washington’s commitment to serving as a trusted partner for smaller, independently owned agencies seeking a path to transition their business. With over a decade of acquisition experience, AAA Washington offers stability, expertise, and a community-focused approach that distinguishes it from alternative options in the market. 

“Our approach prioritizes the relationships these agencies have nurtured over the years,” added Riley. “We’re proud to be a reliable and viable choice for those looking to ensure their clients continue to receive the highest level of service.” 

AAA Washington has been a leader in providing insurance, travel, and roadside assistance services for over 120 years, committed to delivering exceptional value to its members across the Pacific Northwest.
