About Us
Our Story
MassMutual was founded on May 15, 1851. And from the beginning, MassMutual had a single purpose: to help people secure their future and protect the ones they love. More than 170 years later, that commitment remains our guiding principle. It’s behind everything we do and every decision we make. It’s how we continue to deliver products and services to help our policy owners and customers achieve their financial goals, and protect those who matter most.
MassMutual Northwest was established in 1889, just a few decades after MassMutual launched its flagship office in Massachusetts. We have been in downtown Seattle ever since. For over 110 years MassMutual Northwest has been securing the financial futures of our Pacific Northwest communities and beyond. Since opening, we have expanded, creating offices in multiple cities across WA and OR, including Spokane, Tacoma, Kennewick, and Wilsonville. We have persevered through recessions, depressions, wars, pandemics, and natural disasters. Today, MassMutual Northwest continues to be a stable and reliable company for financial services professionals and our clients.
