Home insurance in Seattle, WA
Parts of Seattle are in mapped flood zones, and flooding isn't covered by a standard policy. Here's what to check.
Flood risk in Seattle
Flooding is not covered by a standard homeowners policy anywhere in the country — it is a separate policy. Whether you are required to carry it depends on the zone your address falls in.
FEMA's current mapping for the Seattle area shows Zone VE, Zone AE, Zone D, Zone A alongside Zone X, which is the lower-risk designation.
Seattle takes part in the National Flood Insurance Program but is not in the Community Rating System, so there is no community discount on flood premiums here.
