Being a US Citizen I can pretty much work on both sides of the border but there is the question of insurance. I am looking for a referal to obtain workers comp insurance and or liability insurace for my self. The only company I have looked at so far is farmers insurace. There is also another problem and that is I do not have a physical preseces in washington state. My guess is thay will want to see a US address to be able to cover me in the event I do get involved in some kind of on the site accident. Also, what is the minimum insurance I should use to cover my self? Thanks Loren

I have lost jobs because they wanted me to have it. The place to ask your questions would be a local insurance agent who handles business insurance. -Hal CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some comments made by me are known to the State of California to cause irreversible brain damage and serious mental disorders leading to confinement.
