Meet your local insurance experts.

Outstanding service starts with an outstanding team. Meet the professionals behind Plaza Insurance Agency.


Plaza Insurance Agency has been part of the local community since 1954. Over the years the agency’s goals included offering a wide scope of insurance products to the community, providing good service to the customers, operating with honesty and integrity, and helping people to solve insurance-related problems.
Tom Allen became an owner of the agency in 1956 upon finishing his service in the Navy. Tom Allen was later joined by Pat McMahan Sr. who became a broker at Plaza Insurance Agency. It didn’t take long for Plaza Insurance Agency to become an insurance advocate in the community.

Both Pat McMahan Sr. & Tom Allen have been actively involved in the local community for many years. Pat McMahan Sr. was one of the three people who started the city of Mountlake Terrace in November 1954. He served three terms as a member of the city council in Mountlake Terrace. Tom Allen started the chamber of commerce in Mountlake Terrace and served as its president.

In 1990 Pat McMahan Jr. joined his father in the insurance business. Following in his father’s footsteps Pat McMahan Jr. has worked as an independent insurance agent for twenty years. In March 2001 Pat McMahan Jr. became the new owner of Plaza Insurance Agency.

Today Plaza Insurance Agency continues to provide quality insurance products & services to the community. Equine & farm owner’s insurance has been our specialty for many years.
