  • Supporting Local: A Fun Day at TopGolf with All Star Auto Glass

    Last week, our agency had the pleasure of attending a fantastic client appreciation event hosted by All Star Auto Glass at TopGolf in Renton, WA — and we just had to share a quick recap!

    Claire and her husband Erick represented our agency at the event, connecting with other industry professionals and enjoying a fun afternoon of swings, laughter, and community. Events like these are a great reminder of how lucky we are to partner with local businesses that truly value the relationships behind the work.

    All Star Auto Glass went above and beyond — from great food and raffle prizes to an energy that made everyone feel welcome. It’s not every day you get to talk shop and try to land a hole-in-one in the same day!

    We’re grateful to collaborate with partners who not only provide top-tier service to our clients but also go out of their way to build meaningful connections within the community. Whether it’s celebrating wins or supporting one another in business, these relationships are what make our work that much more rewarding.

    A big thank you to All Star Auto Glass for including us — and TopGolf for hosting us — we’re looking forward to the next opportunity to connect and collaborate!

    P.S. Seeing how much fun everyone had got us thinking…
    We might just host a TopGolf event of our own in the near future!
    If that’s something you’d be interested in, let us know — we’d love to hear from you!

  • Why Local Matters: The Value of Working with Our Agency

    Why Local Matters: The Value of Working with Our Agency

    In a world of large insurance companies and online quoting engines, it’s easy to feel like just another policy number. It’s easy to get overwhelmed when you call in for customer service help, and spend 20 minutes trying to explain your situation to an automated answering machine. But when you choose to work with a local, community-based agency like Gilday Insurance, you’re choosing more than a policy – you’re choosing people who care. You’re choosing the agency owner himself, Tyler Gilday, and his employee, Claire.

    We know your community, because we’re part of it.

    As a local agency based in Woodinville, we live where you live. That gives us a unique understanding of the risks and needs specific to our area, whether it’s navigating the Pacific Northwest’s rainy season, helping small business owners protect their storefronts, or ensuring local families have the right coverage as they grow. We aren’t just local to Woodinville, we’re local to WASHINGTON.

    Personal relationships > call centers

    At our agency, we know our clients by name, not by policy number. You don’t have to wait on hold or explain your story every time you call. Instead, you’ll talk to real people, either Tyler or Claire, who know your background, your coverage, and your goals. And if we don’t – you bet we’ll learn. That kind of trust and continuity can’t be bought – it’s built.

    Real guidance you can rely on

    Because we’re with Farmers, we are able to offer coverage through not only their products, but many different products from different carriers. That means we can shop around to find the best coverage and value for your unique situation. But more than that, we’re here to educate, not upsell. You can count on honest answers, straightforward advice, and coverage that actually fits.

    Spotlighting our local clients

    As part of our commitment to community, we started our blog and launched our Business Spotlight Series, where we sit down with local business owners over lunch and share their stories on our blog and social media. It’s our way of saying saying thank you – and giving back by helping promote the incredible businesses we insure.

    We’re proud to be local – and proud to serve you

    When you choose Gilday Insurance, you’re not just getting a policy. You’re gaining a partner who’s invested in your success, who shows up when it matters most, and who genuinely cared about your story.

    Woodinville-based, relationship-driven.
