Grange Insurance Association Is Now Granwest
Granwest traces its roots to a fire insurance cooperative formed by the Washington State Grange in the 1890s. It was founded in 1894 to protect farmers and rural communities, took the name Grange Insurance Association in 1944, and is based in Seattle. On July 1, 2026, Grange Insurance Association became Granwest Insurance. Policies are issued by Granwest Insurance Company and Granwest Property & Casualty, and the company says coverage, billing, and service did not change with the new name. In April 2026, AM Best upgraded the group's Financial Strength Rating to A- (Excellent) from B++ (Good), with a stable outlook.
Granwest writes in Washington, California, Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, and Wyoming, and AM Best notes that more than 80% of its direct writings are in Washington and California, so California is one of its two core markets. Granwest is taking new business through Oakview, subject to underwriting. For homes, the location, construction, condition, wildfire exposure, and loss history all shape the decision, so availability varies by property and location.
Granwest Coverage Through Oakview
Oakview writes Granwest farm and personal lines in California. Coverage is subject to Granwest underwriting, policy terms, limits, and exclusions.
Lead Program
Farm and Agriculture
Granwest began as farm fire insurance, and farm coverage is still at the center of what it offers. In California, Oakview writes Granwest Farm & Ranch, FarmPak, and Orchard & Vineyard insurance for Sacramento Valley operations. Granwest's farm and ranch policies cover farm dwellings and buildings, farm machinery and equipment, livestock, and farm liability, with optional coverages for small farms, large commercial farms, and specialty operations. Granwest also writes hobby farm coverage for tractors, ATVs, and other equipment, outbuildings such as barns and storage sheds, and liability, since a homeowners policy often leaves those exposures uncovered. Which program fits depends on the size and type of the operation and on Granwest's underwriting guidelines, and we review that with you before we quote. Four of our advisors hold the AFIS farm insurance certification. Learn more on our farm and agribusiness insurance page.

Wildfire, Flood, and Earthquake in the Valley
Wildfire and the Foothills
Homes toward the Sierra foothills and in Butte County are often harder to place than homes on the valley floor. When we submit a home, we include what you have done, such as ember-resistant vents, a Class A roof, and defensible space. Those steps help a submission, but they do not by themselves guarantee eligibility or a discount, and availability varies by property and location. Our high fire area insurance page covers the other options we can access.
Flood and the Levees
Standard homeowners policies generally do not cover flood damage. Much of Yuba City, Marysville, Plumas Lake, and Linda sits behind levees along the Feather and Yuba Rivers, and flood risk varies from one property to the next. Oakview writes flood coverage as a separate policy, and we can quote it alongside your Granwest home or farm policy.
Earthquake
Standard California homeowners policies generally exclude earthquake damage. Earthquake protection is available through separate policies or eligible endorsements, and we can check current options for your home.
