you live here.
Jake Talbot is your local GEICO agent on SE Mill Plain in Vancouver — not a call center a thousand miles away. From the Columbia River to the Cascade foothills, one office covers your car, home, boat, and the ride across the bridge to work. Licensed in Washington and Oregon.

A Northwest local, plain and simple.
Jake Talbot has lived in the Pacific Northwest his whole life, and he's spent the last fifteen years in sales getting to know the people who live here. Today that means his own GEICO office on SE Mill Plain in Vancouver, where the job is the same every day: sit down with a neighbor and figure out what coverage actually fits their life — not a script, not a quota, just the agent whose name is on the door.
A Washington State University grad, Jake is a Property & Casualty agent licensed in both Washington and Oregon — which matters in a town where plenty of folks live on the Washington side and drive across the Interstate Bridge to work in Portland. He and his team also speak Spanish, so more of Clark County can get answers in the language they're most comfortable with.
Off the clock, you're as likely to find Jake on a golf course, at a campsite, on the water, or carving down a Cascade run as behind a desk — with the grill going once everyone's back. He puts that same neighbor-first spirit into the community, from Illahee Elementary and Share Vancouver to Educational Service District 112's work getting local families food, supplies, and rides to school.
An All-Season Northwesterner
Golf, camping, fishing, snowboarding, and grilling with friends — Jake protects the Northwest life because he lives every season of it.
Licensed in Washington & Oregon
A Property & Casualty agent on both sides of the Columbia — built for Clark County families and the commuters who cross the bridge to Portland.
His Own Local Office
JDT Enterprises, LLC on SE Mill Plain — an independently owned GEICO office with a name on the door, not an anonymous 1-800 line.
One office, river to ridgeline.
One local agent, every line of coverage a Clark County household is likely to need — and, because Jake is licensed in Washington and Oregon, the same coverage follows you across the bridge.
Auto Insurance
Half of Clark County crosses the Columbia to work — the Interstate Bridge on I-5, the Glenn Jackson on I-205, SR-14 down the Gorge. Coverage built around how people here actually drive, both sides of the river.
Homeowners Insurance
From Fisher's Landing to the Camas hills, a Northwest home takes on wet winters, Cascade windstorms, and the occasional ice event. Protection for the house and everything you've put into it.
Renters Insurance
Downtown Vancouver's waterfront apartments and the rentals around Clark College and WSU Vancouver fill up fast. Affordable coverage for your belongings — first place or fifth.
Motorcycle & ATV
Summer runs up the Gorge, forest-service roads in the Gifford Pinchot, a quad at the cabin — two wheels or four, the Northwest riding season is worth insuring right.
Boat & Watercraft
The Columbia, Vancouver Lake, and Lacamas Lake are minutes away, and fishing and wake season runs hard here. If there's a hull in the driveway, it belongs on the policy sheet.
Personal Umbrella
One more layer of liability protection stacked over your auto and home — for the days a claim runs past the limits underneath it. Quiet peace of mind for what you've built.
Washington law requires every driver to carry at least 25/50/10 liability coverage — $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for injuries, plus $10,000 for property damage. It's a floor, not a plan; Jake can walk you through what actually fits. See the Washington Office of the Insurance Commissioner
The Washington numbers, no improvisation.
No invented five-star quotes here — just public figures from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and the state regulator, each one linked so you can check the source yourself. Washington drivers actually pay below the national average.
