Alice is very helpful. She is knowledgeable and always provides great insights and suggestions regarding policies. She is responsive to all my questions and walks me through the matter in a clear manner. I know I'm in good hands with Alice's help.- Alice and her team is amazing! I found them through Allstate's local agent search since I was relocating to Seattle and needed help for renters and auto insurance. I can see why Alice and her team was highly recommended. They are very reliable, informative, prompt, and above and beyond. The process was very smooth since they were there every step of the way; and also were patient and even provided solutions whenever we hit roadblocks. I am glad to have found such an amazing team and can look forward to knowing I am in good hands.

Auto Insurance 101
Comprehensive coverage:
Comprehensive coverage is the enhanced protection for your own car and it will cover damages that are not result of a collision or rollover.
In our experience, the most common usage of comprehensive coverage is for a windshield repair or replacement.
In addition to covering glass damage on your car, comprehensive coverage also covers for theft, fire, vandalism, and more.
Learn more: Comprehensive Coverage.
Collision coverage:
Collision coverage is the coverage used to repair or replace your own car, if it was damaged in an accident with another car or in a rollover crash.
Similar to comprehensive coverage, if your car is leased or financed, your lender is likely to require you to carry collision coverage in your car insurance policy.
Learn more: Collision Coverage.
Uninsured motorist coverage:
Uninsured motorist coverage on your insurance policy will cover for your car repairs and your injuries from an accident in the event where the other driver is responsible but he or she does not have an active insurance policy in place.

Worthington Licensing

www.worthingtonlicensing.com/
We visited Worthington in September of 2021 to renew our tab and was pleasantly surprised how quick and easy it was. As soon as we walked into the door, we were greeted by someone behind the counter. We told her that we were renewing our tab and gave her our information. Within a minute, we paid the renewal fee and the nice lady handed us the new tab and we were done!
It was definitely one of the fastest service we ever had, especially relating to tab renewal.
Driver Licensing Office
The closest location for driver licensing office for Bothell is now in Redmond:
7225 170th Ave NE
Redmond, WA 98052
(425) 649-4281
Some years ago, there were several DMV offices in the Eastside. There was one right in the old Bothell Landing, but unfortunately it was closed in parts due to the cost-cutting measures for the Department of Licensing and loss of lease as part of Bothell's redeveloping of downtown area: Bothell licensing office to close next month.
If you were instructed to go to the DMV office in Bellevue, unfortunately it is also no longer there. That office was shut down at the end of 2019 and all of its services relocated to the Redmond office.
Car Window Tinting Service
Yes, Seattle is often referred to as the Rainy City. But did you know, Seattle and Bothell average 152 sunny days per year - that is equivalent to 5 months out of a year. Between the months of April and September, Seattle and Bothell average more than 200 hours of sunshine every month!
That is a lot of sun and UV exposure!
Window tinting is a great way to reduce some of the UV exposure from the sun and it also helps to reduce temperature in your car during the hot summer months.
For your local window tinting needs, we recommend:
The DarkSide Window Tinting
10420 E Riverside Dr
Bothell, WA 98011
(206) 367-7157
www.darksidetinting.com
We recently tinted our car at DarkSide and we were very satisfied with the quality of their work and prompt service. We dropped off our car at 9 am and it was ready for pick up at 4 pm.
The tint was perfect and we love how the car looks. They were able to answer all of our questions and the appointment went smoothly on the day it was scheduled. We are very confident with their work and have been referring them to our friends.
