Elliott, Powell, Baden & Baker insurance is an independent, full-service multi-line Insurance agency based in Portland, Oregon. We offer Personal Lines, Commercial Lines, Bonding, Life, and Group Health coverages to customers in the Western U.S. with the bulk of our business generated in Oregon and Washington.

Founded in 1950 by Warren Elliott, Elliott Insurance was a small local independent insurance agency. With the addition of Gordon Powell several years later, Elliott Insurance transformed into Elliott and Associates. In 1969 William Baden from USF&G and Neil Baker from the Mathiesen-Baker Agency joined, forming the partnership of Elliott, Powell, Baden, & Baker. “I am grateful to have known the four founding partners in my youth. My Dad continually inspired me through his hard work, dedication to his customers and support of the community through his philanthropic work,” Baker says of his father Neil, a Safeco Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, one of only three in Oregon history to receive the award.

Building relationships and providing outstanding customer service is something that sets Elliott, Powell, Baden & Baker apart from other insurance agencies. To ensure that we attract and retain strong team members, EPB&B believes in providing a collaborative work environment, excellent benefits, creative incentives, and the opportunity to give back to the community. The result being service to our customers that is of the highest quality.

The hard work and commitment to excellence have paid off, resulting in EPB&B being recognized as a multi-dimensional leader in the industry by the following local and national organizations.
