Research Washington Providers & Regulatory Records

What official Washington evidence the network covers

These figures are specialist-owned and not comparable. They are not a ranking, a Trust Score, or one Washington-provider denominator.

• 160,923 L&I contractor registrations

  source-native contractor-license/registration rows. Not net-new companies. Registration is not quality.

• 6,968 DSHS residential GIS current

  AFH 6,179 + ALF 557 + ESF 16 + other GIS classes. AFH is not ALF. ALF is not SNF. Do not sum with CMS.

• 286,871 HMDA 2025 applications

  HMDA applications for Washington property location. Not a live lender roster.

• UTC search-only / 284 directory results

  UTC active household-goods directory results. Bulk roster SOURCE_NOT_ACQUIRED. Not a newly ingested mover-company count.

• 306 SEC/IARD Washington principal-office firms

  federal roster geography. Not the Washington state-RIA count. 306 is not 645.

• 2,924 OIC 2025 annual-report entities

  dated insurance and risk/non-risk-bearing entity aggregate. Not a live licensed-insurer roster.

Specialist Washington research

• Contractor Trust Hub

  Is this Washington contractor registered — and can I see bond and insurance filings?

  • L&I contractor registration on exact contractor IDs
  • Bond filings joined on the same ID
  • Liability-insurance filings joined on the same ID
  • Official L&I verify path

  Registration is not quality. Bond is not endorsement. Insurance is not safety. A missing bond row is not unbonded. A missing insurance row is not uninsured. UBI is not contractor registration. 160,923 rows are not 160,923 net-new companies.

• SeniorTrustHub

  How do I find an Adult Family Home — and is assisted living the same as a nursing home?

  • DSHS Adult Family Homes
  • DSHS Assisted Living Facilities
  • DSHS nursing homes versus CMS nursing homes
  • CMS Home Health and Hospice kept separate

  AFH is not ALF. ALF is not SNF. DSHS is not CMS. Residential care is not home health. Hospice is not home health. Do not publish a combined Washington senior-providers denominator.

• Move Trust Hub

  How do I verify a Washington mover — and does a USDOT number mean they can move me interstate?

  • UTC household-goods permit search
  • UTC versus FMCSA interstate authority
  • USDOT number versus operating authority
  • Existing FMCSA Washington-HQ overlay

  UTC state permit is not FMCSA interstate authority. A USDOT number is not interstate operating authority by itself. 284 directory results are not a newly ingested mover-company count. Do not combine 284 + 148. WA-MOVE-001 net-new mover organizations: 0.

• Lender Trust Hub

  How much mortgage activity was reported — and how do I verify a Washington mortgage broker?

  • HMDA 2025 Washington mortgage activity
  • DFI search-only company verification
  • DFI enforcement with exact NMLS
  • CFPB mortgage complaints and WSHFC programs

  HMDA is not a license roster. DFI year-end aggregate is not a live roster. An MLO person is not a lender company. A complaint is not a violation. Denial rate is not quality.

• Investor Trust Hub

  Is this Washington investment adviser registered — and how many SEC adviser firms are based in Washington?

  • SEC/IARD Washington principal-office overlay
  • DFI search-only state-RIA verification
  • DFI 2024 year-end IA aggregate as dated context
  • RIA versus ERA versus IAR versus broker-dealer

  306 is not the Washington state-RIA count. 645 is not a live roster. SEC RIA is not state RIA. ERA is not an RIA. IAR is not a firm. Broker-dealer is not an investment adviser.

• Insurance Trust Hub

  How do I verify a Washington insurance company — without treating 2,924 as a live licensed-company count?

  • OIC Agent and Company Lookup
  • OIC 2025 annual-report entity aggregates
  • SERFF rate/form search
  • OIC orders search

  2,924 is not a live Washington insurer count. Producer is not an agency. Agency is not an insurer. Plan is not an insurer. Annual aggregate is not a live roster. Restricted is not zero. Search-only is not zero.

Washington data depth

Evidence volume is not a quality score. These four buckets are not one Washington-records total.

• Organizations / facilities

  • DSHS AFH 6,179 / ALF 557 / ESF 16 as published facility classes — not a combined senior-provider total
  • SEC/IARD 306 Washington principal-office firms — geography overlay, not state-RIA firms minted here
  • UTC 284 directory results and FMCSA 148 HQ records are not new mover organizations

• Licenses / registrations

  • L&I 160,923 contractor registrations (75,823 ACTIVE) on exact contractor IDs
  • OIC producer/agency/authorized-company bulk remain restricted or search-only

• Regulatory / market evidence

  • L&I bond 176,920 rows and insurance 77,005 rows on exact IDs
  • HMDA 2025: 286,871 applications / 174,653 originations / 15.53% denial rate / 39 counties
  • DFI enforcement 777 rows; CFPB WA mortgage 10,340; OIC 2025 aggregate 2,924

• Search-only / restricted sources

  • UTC mover bulk roster SOURCE_NOT_ACQUIRED
  • DFI live lender/company roster SEARCH_ONLY
  • DFI state-RIA bulk SEARCH_ONLY
  • OIC producer lists SOURCE_USE_RESTRICTED; agency and authorized-company SEARCH_ONLY

What makes Washington different

• L&I publishes contractor registration, bond, and liability-insurance filings on exact contractor IDs. Registration is not quality. A missing bond row is not proof the contractor is unbonded.
• Washington has more than six thousand Adult Family Homes — a state-specific residential-care class outside CMS nursing-home identity. AFH is not ALF. ALF is not a skilled nursing facility.
• Household-goods mover authority is a UTC state permit and remains distinct from FMCSA interstate authority. A USDOT number is not interstate operating authority by itself.
• HMDA shows complete statewide 2025 mortgage-market activity while DFI’s live company roster remains search-only. HMDA is not a license roster. Denial rate is not quality.
• SEC/IARD Washington principal-office geography is not state adviser registration. 306 is not the 645 DFI year-end IA aggregate, and 645 is not a live roster.
• OIC person-list restrictions (RCW 42.56) affect what can ethically and legally be bulk acquired. Producer lists stay restricted. 2,924 is not a live Washington insurer count.

Entity growth versus intelligence growth

Ask does not treat market aggregates as new companies. Unknown is not zero.

• Net-new canonical organizations

  UNKNOWN / NOT YET AUDITED

  Move specialist ledger is 0 net-new mover organizations. Insurance specialist ledger is 0. Contractor 160,923 rows are evidence on an already-known Washington contractor spine, not 160,923 net-new companies. Investor 306 is federal principal-office geography, not new firms minted here. Lender HMDA 286,871 is applications, not companies. Senior published AFH+ALF+ESF = 6,752 state-only facility identities, but WA-SEN-001 did not commit a before/after canonical-organization ledger. Ask does not mint organizations and does not guess.

• Net-new state identities

  UNKNOWN / NOT YET AUDITED

  Specialist tickets published source-native identities (L&I contractor IDs, DSHS facility IDs, UTC search hits, HMDA LEIs, SEC/IARD CRDs, OIC aggregates). No committed network-level before/after identity audit is available. Do not treat evidence-row counts as new identities.

• Existing organizations enriched

  UNKNOWN / NOT YET AUDITED

  Contractor WA-CON-001 described bond and insurance evidence enrichment over an already-known spine (exact IDs with both bond and insurance: 70,622). That is intelligence growth, not a committed enrichment-entity count.

• New evidence rows

  DOCUMENTED_AS_INTELLIGENCE_NOT_ENTITY_GROWTH

  These are specialist-owned evidence grains. They are not one Washington-records total and are not net-new organizations.

• New public research surfaces

  7

  Six specialist /washington pages plus Ask /washington. Not an organization count.

What the sources do not establish

• Registration is not quality. Bond is not endorsement. Insurance is not safety. 160,923 L&I rows are not 160,923 net-new companies.
• AFH is not ALF. ALF is not a skilled nursing facility. DSHS is not CMS. Do not publish one Washington senior-providers number.
• UTC household-goods authority is not FMCSA interstate authority. A USDOT number is not interstate operating authority.
• HMDA is not a Washington mortgage-license roster. Denial rate is not quality. A complaint is not a violation.
• A Washington principal office is not Washington state-RIA registration. 306 is not 645. 645 is not a live roster.
• 2,924 is not a live Washington insurer count. Producer is not an agency. Restricted is not zero.

Washington evidence catalog

Ask consumes specialist snapshot facts. It does not invent Ask-owned Washington denominators.

Cross-hub Washington situations

Ask can point to more than one specialist. It does not publish a composite score, Trust Score, or ranked “best providers” list.

• Buying a Washington house: mortgage activity on Lender Trust Hub, then contractor registration, bond, and insurance on Contractor Trust Hub. These are separate evidence universes — not a composite score.
• Helping an elderly parent: Adult Family Home and assisted-living research on SeniorTrustHub, and household-goods verification on Move Trust Hub. A mover permit is not a care placement.
• Checking a Washington insurance company: Insurance Trust Hub for OIC lookup and dated annual-report context. 2,924 is not a live licensed-company count.
• A contractor working in an Adult Family Home: Contractor Trust Hub for L&I registration and SeniorTrustHub for the facility class. A contractor registration is not an AFH license.

What the network still does not know

Different hubs have different official source coverage. Missing evidence is unknown, not zero. Restricted is not zero. Search-only is not zero. Washington cities and counties are not an approved local phase.

• complete UTC mover bulk roster
• live mortgage-company roster
• live state-RIA roster
• unrestricted OIC producer/agency roster
• authorized OIC company bulk roster
• state senior inspection/enforcement bulk
• certain contractor complaint/infraction histories
• committed before/after canonical-organization audit for DSHS AFH/ALF/ESF
