History

Established in 1970.

In 1970 our company was founded by a local attorney, Norman B. Nelson, under the name of Skagit County Title. By March of 1971 Skagit County Title was opened to the public. Norman’s dedication to excellence was evident by his customers’ support and loyalty. The company grew quickly and gained a reputation for its knowledge and integrity. Facing retirement in early 1980, Norman sold his interest to the underwriter, First American Title Insurance Company based in Santa Ana, CA. An association with a the national corporation allowed both companies to market and co-​brand by using the name First American, even though the majority of Skagit County Title was owned locally.
