The WCRP mission is:
- - To provide comprehensive and economical risk coverage,
- - To reduce the frequency and severity of losses and
- - To decrease costs incurred in the managing and litigation of claims.
From its inception, the Pool's insuring programs have included joint self-insurance for 3rd party liabilities. However, the insuring programs have been expanded to include property and cyber risk coverages as well as trainings and loss control services.
The Pool presently consists of 24 of Washington's 39 counties. Together, its members employ approximately 12,500 employees.
