Ah, Valentine’s Day. The annual celebration where we all pretend to enjoy prix-fixe dinners, buy overpriced flowers, and act surprised by the same chocolate hearts we get every year. Don’t get me wrong—it’s nice. Romance is great. But while everyone else is busy making dinner reservations and fighting over the last bouquet at Safeway, let’s talk about the one gift that actually says, “I love you enough to handle my business if something happens.”
That’s right. We’re talking about life insurance.
Nothing says “I’m thinking of your future” quite like making sure you’re financially protected when life pulls a fast one. It’s not glamorous, it’s not Instagrammable, but it’s one of the most loving, responsible things you can do—especially if you're living here in Kirkland, where the cost of living and the weather both keep you on your toes.
Now, I know what some of you are thinking:
“Life insurance? On Valentine’s Day? What am I, 80?”
No, you’re not 80. That’s the point. You’re not too old, you’re not too young—you’re just the right amount of ‘it’s time to get real.’ You’ve got bills. You’ve got people who rely on you. You’ve probably got a dog that eats better than you do. So if you’re serious about protecting what you love, this is it.
Let’s say something happens to you (God forbid). What’s the plan? A GoFundMe? A prayer and a casserole from the neighbor? Come on now.
Life insurance isn’t for you—it’s for the people who have to keep going without you.
Your partner, your kids, your aging parents—whoever you’d leave behind. It’s your way of saying, “I got you,” even when you’re not around to say it.
Life insurance comes in two main flavors, and don’t worry—we’re not about to drown you in fine print. Here’s the breakdown, Burr-style:
This is the “get in, get out, don’t overpay” option.
You pick a term—10, 20, 30 years—and if something happens during that time, your family gets paid. Simple. Straightforward. Affordable. Great if you’ve got a mortgage, kids in school, or just want serious coverage for the high-risk, high-stress years.
This one’s for the planners. It costs more upfront, but it lasts forever and builds cash value over time. Think of it like buying the expensive umbrella that doesn’t turn inside out every time the wind blows. Long-term coverage, plus a savings element.
Not sure which one fits? That’s where Absolute Insurance Solutions comes in. We sit down (virtually or in person) and actually explain this stuff in English, not insurance jargon. We’ll help you figure out what’s worth paying for and what’s just noise.
Let’s be honest: Kirkland isn’t exactly the cheapest place to live. The homes are beautiful, the neighborhoods are tight-knit, but if you so much as sneeze wrong, it’ll cost you $200 in deductible fees.
So, what happens if the breadwinner—yeah, that’s you—suddenly isn’t around? Who keeps the mortgage going? Who covers tuition? Who makes sure the dog still gets his organic salmon kibble?
This is where life insurance goes from “yeah, maybe” to “how did I not do this sooner?”
At Absolute Insurance Solutions, we’ve been helping Kirkland families get covered for nearly two decades. We’re not some big-box brand with a 1-800 number and a seven-layer phone menu. We’re local, we’re real, and we actually give a damn.
Nope. You can get solid term coverage for less than your monthly coffee budget. And let’s be honest—you’re not giving up coffee, but you can absolutely give up a couple drive-thru stops for something this important.
Cool. But do you have a partner? Parents who depend on you? Student loans with a cosigner? Life insurance isn’t just about kids—it’s about responsibility.
You mean the free policy that covers a year of salary if you’re lucky? That’s like showing up to a snowstorm with a windbreaker. Get something that actually protects the whole picture.
At Absolute Insurance Solutions, we don’t overcomplicate it. We offer:
✅ Honest, local agents who live here in Kirkland
✅ Access to top-rated carriers like Progressive, Safeco, Travelers, and Farmers

We’ll help you find the right plan, the right price, and the right protection—without trying to sell you something you don’t need.
Look, Valentine’s Day is cute. Candles, takeout, fuzzy slippers—you do you. But if you really want to show someone you care, protect their future.
Because flowers die. Chocolate gets eaten. But life insurance? That’s love with a backup plan.
If you live in Kirkland and you’re finally ready to get serious about protecting your people, we’re ready too.
