"Nicole was beyond amazing. I've been with State Farm for 13 years and just kind of let things be what they were. Nicole called and asked if there was anything I needed and as it turned out I was way overdue for a review on my policy. She also helped me get a few other things set up and I'm so thankful for her kind and wonderful support. If it wasn't for her being there making it feel like the commercials say, being there like a good neighbor, I would have shopped around. She did the work, she brought the best customer service I've seen in a very long time and she made me feel right at home. I won't be leaving any time soon."

"Recently decided to take a look at State Farm Insurance for both home and auto. Phoned the office in Shelton, WA and spoke immediately with a pleasant agent named Kathy B. She very graciously walked me thru the whole procedure and answered a zillion questions for me. Then she promptly sent paperwork for me to examine at leisure. And I did. Made notes of more questions and she answered all of those, too. Within a very short time I secured coverage on both vehicles and the house. Kathy B made the whole process easy. You can tell I was very impressed with her knowledge and her willingness to help me find the exact coverage I needed. I have already begun recommending her to family and neighbors. Give her a call!"
We responded:
"Thank you for the wonderful 5-star review! We are so happy you had a wonderful experience with us here on State Farm Agent Melanie Bakala’s Team. If you ever need anything down the road, do not hesitate to reach out—we would love to help! "

"This office has a high attention to detail and really cares about their clients. I just relocated from Colorado to Washington, which means renters insurance and auto policies must be updated. Not only did they walk me through the process and get those policies completed in a timely manner, I got a special call from Cara to go over all of my coverage a few weeks later, including separate life insurance policies I had and simply to review everything for common sense and good quality of coverage. I was never pressured to purchase anything, in fact, I genuinely felt the desire to get me the best coverage at the lowest possible rate. Highly recommend this office."
We responded:
"Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are pleased to hear that you had a positive experience with us here on State Farm Agent Melanie Bakala’s Team. "

"I had a great experience with Gray McCoy from State Farm yesterday. I recently learned that I was paying an insane amount on my house insurance. Through Gray, I was able to drop my yearly cost by almost 2000 dollars while quadrupling my coverage. To top it off I was able to bundle my auto insurance and cut my monthly price in half. A huge thank you to Gray and the team at Dtate Farm!!"

"We were long-time State Farm customers but decided to see if “the grass was greener” elsewhere. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. Not even close. After that experience, we found ourselves right back at Melanie Bakala’s office with our tail tucked between our legs. From the moment we returned, we were treated with kindness and zero judgment. Mersades helped us through the process, and she was absolutely incredible. She was patient, thoughtful, and thorough, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Not only did she make the experience seamless, but she also helped us save a significant amount of money, even more than before we left. It honestly felt like we never left. The level of service, professionalism, and genuine care is exactly why we should’ve never gone anywhere else. We’re truly grateful for Mersades and the entire team at Melanie Bakala State Farm. Thank you for welcoming us back with open arms. We won’t be wandering again. ❤️"
We responded:
"Wow. You made my day Elizabeth! No need to tuck your tail - we will always welcome you back with open arms. So happy to be serving you again."
