R T Shaw

Welcome to the new Fremont location of RT Shaw State Farm!

For over 30 years, we’ve proudly served our Good Neighbors here in Seattle, and now we’re excited to expand with a second location to make it even easier for you to stop by. Our friendly, knowledgeable team brings over 30 years of combined insurance experience and is here to help you with Auto, Life, Health, Business, Home, Renters, Condo, Motorcycle, Pet Insurance, and Financial Services. We work hard to make insurance simple and straightforward, and we truly value connecting with our community—whether we’re meeting new neighbors or catching up with familiar faces.

I’m proud to be born and raised right here in Seattle, where I’m raising my own family. I earned my MBA from the University of Washington, and I’m passionate about giving back to our city through community involvement and coaching youth sports. When I’m not in the office, you’ll likely find me on the baseball field, playing a round of golf, or enjoying time with my wife, kids, and our two dogs, Peach and Poppy.

We’d love for you to visit our new Fremont office or give us a call. Whether in person, over the phone, or virtually—we’re here to help you protect what matters most.

Q: Do you need to carry insurance on your home?
