Founded in 1964 by Don Devitte and his partner, Tom Bolster, SAV-ON celebrates 60 years this year! SAV-ON was conceived with the goal of providing low-cost insurance with an emphasis on friendly, caring customer service to the local community.

These two men combined their many years of insurance expertise to start their new agency and decided on a little office on Rainier Avenue in south Seattle.

Through honesty and hard work, they were able to build up their new agency. It helped that their little office was tucked in between a popular grocery store and a sporting goods store, resulting in plenty of walk-in business!

SAV-ON Insurance Grows

After a dozen years of partnership, Tom decided to leave the agency and Don stayed on without him, continually working on building the business. Soon he opened a Burien office, then a Sea-Tac office. Then, in 1984, 20 years after starting SAV-ON, Don opened the Des Moines office which is now the headquarters. A Kent office, then a Seattle office would eventually be added to the locations.

Don was a strong believer in family, and both his sons, Phil and Rick, and his daughter, Stephanie, grew up working at SAV-ON and eventually took over for Don after he retired. Now some of Phil’s and Rick’s family have joined in the effort. It continues to be a real family affair!

Although Stephanie has retired, Phil and Rick continue to run the day-to-day operation, focusing on the local communities around here that Don envisioned 60 years ago. They sponsor local activities and sports teams, as well as contributing to local charities for many years.

SAV-ON’s Chosen Charity

Currently, they contribute to a local charity, Ladybug House, whose purpose is to provide support for terminally ill children and their families by providing assistance and retreats for these families so they can get away for a while and enjoy whatever time the child has left. SAV-ON is one of the sponsors of this worthy organization and contributes money from every referral to Ladybug House. To date that has reached nearly $500.

SAV-ON Insurance currently has two offices to serve you, one in Des Moines, the other in Tacoma. Both offices provide low-cost insurance and friendly, knowledgable agents who are dedicated to finding clients the right insurance at the best price, since as an agency they have 30+ insurance companies to choose from. In addition, most offices provide bilingual support for families who do not speak English fluently.

With 60 years of success and counting, SAV-ON Insurance is continuing Don Devitte’s dream of providing these local communities with the best insurance coverage at the lowest price.
