ABOUT US

Risk sharing pools were born out of necessity in response to a serious problem that plagues public entities: lack of affordable insurance.

History

The Washington Governmental Entity Pool (WGEP) was organized in 1987 by four founding members who found liability insurance in the open market either unaffordable or unavailable. 

WGEP was established to provide risk financing to its member government entities for liability and property coverage. The Pool’s general objectives are to formulate, develop and administer on behalf of the members, a program of insurance that offers lower costs for broader coverage and comprehensive loss control programs. The Pool transfers its risk by buying reinsurance and excess insurance over the Pool’s self-insured retention.

In 2008, we changed our name to Enduris Washington and updated our brand by adopting a new logo and visual identity. The change is meant to convey our confidence and excitement for the future as we work toward furthering our mission and goals.
