Miriam PerezOWNER

I am thankful to be a woman in business on Vashon. I appreciate our unique community and enjoy the daily

challenges of running a business. Recently, a client asked me who my boss was because he wanted to let them know that he thought it was great I was able to bring my 5 month old daughter to work with me. It is great, actually it is wonderful. What is even better is that our clients think so! I did let him know I am my own

boss and partner to my father, John Anderson. Island Insurance Center is dedicated to helping you attain the greatest value for your insurance dollar. Times are tough, no one wants to pay more than they should. And no one wants to � nd out they don’t have the coverage they need. We are here to help.
