Our Story
In 1935, two brothers began a locally owned and operated real estate and insurance agency, The Whitfield Company. In 1953, Don Biggs joined the brothers in their effort to grow their insurance agency in Vancouver, WA. After many years of service to The Whitfield Company, Don acquired ownership and created Don Biggs & Associates.
Now known as Biggs Insurance Services, the agency has grown to be one of the largest locally owned, independent agencies in Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon. Today, Biggs is a staple on Main Street, located in the historic Elks Lodge.

“My experience has been that many agents just sell on price. I want to be confident that I have the right coverage if I have a claim. My agent at Biggs Insurance has always taken the time to understand my needs. I really appreciate the personal attention your staff has given me.”
