Washington Insurance Officials Hold Fourth Spokane Wildfire Claims Workshop on November 9, Covering Debris Removal and Replacement Estimates
The Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner said in a November 2, 2026 release that its fourth Spokane workshop for wildfire survivors navigating the insurance claims process will be held on Monday, November 9, at 6:00 p.m. at Spokane Falls Community College in Spokane, Spokane County, Washington, with insurance experts covering debris removal and replacement estimates for survivors of the Spokane Complex Fires.
The workshop includes time for questions and one-on-one help. Insurance Commissioner Patty Kuderer's office began hosting the workshops in August to help survivors through the first few months after a wildfire, and they now run on the second Monday of each month from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. in Building 24 (sn-w'ey-mn), Auditorium Room 110, at 3410 W Whistalks Way, Spokane, WA 99224.
"The insurance claims process can be overwhelming," Kuderer said. "We're here to help guide you through each step of the process, from filing your claim to rebuilding." Parking is free in the evening with no pass needed, registration is available through the office's website, and past workshop presentations are recorded and available to watch online.
The office also points survivors to its wildfire recovery toolkit, a channel to talk directly with an insurance expert, and its wildfires-and-insurance resource pages. Residents who are disputing a claim amount or a cleanup estimate can bring their policy and estimates to the session and go through them line by line with an expert.
