Us, by the numbers...

With apologies to Harper's Index, here are some of the numbers we deal with as Washington state's insurance regulator:

• 1,300+: Number of insurance companies, HMOs, etc. that we monitor.
• 220: Number of employees we have.
• $28 billion: How much Washingtonians spend on insurance coverage each year.
• 6,000: Number of consumer complaints we try to solve, on average, per year.
• $10 million: Amount we recover for consumers annually, on average, in delayed or wrongfully denied claims.
• 95,000: the number of agents and brokers whose testing, licensing, continuing education and performance we oversee.
