One solution to fulfilling your insurance needs is to go online and buy the cheapest coverage you can find. It’s not too complicated. “It can work if you never need to use it,” says State Farm agent Melanie Bakala, adding, “However, when something happens it makes a huge difference to have in-person and phone access to your local agent’s office.” You’ll save yourself from the ‘1-800-Phone-Tree,’ too. Melanie and her team already know you. They also serve our community in numerous ways that other agencies do not.

Bakala’s State Farm Office Offers Valuable Services
- Understanding Your Coverage: When you sit down with Melanie’s capable team you learn about how your liability limits work, and how the physical damage to your car works. You’ll be able to ask questions and learn what all the words mean. Together, you can consider your risks, your coverage needs, types of insurance, and look at various options. “I can also help people plan for retirement,” suggest Bakala. Your agent can be a meaningful, long-term relationship to accompany you on your life’s path.
- Attentive Service when you need help. There is often stress involved when a claim is needed. It could be an auto accident or something with your home. Having a real person to speak with and help you through the process is amazing. As your life and needs change, your agent is there to make adjustments.
- Giving Back to Your Community: Melanie’s office has contributed to a variety of organizations that operate in both Thurston and Mason Counties. Her Community Bucks program provides a $25 donation when a person getting an insurance quote mentions a nonprofit. There is no obligation to buy after receiving the quote. “We appreciate the opportunity to connect with new people,” says Melanie. She believes in the importance of a partnership between business and the community. Recent contributions went to Camp Victory and to Food Source Foundation.
