Our Roots Run West
Not new here. From here.
Ahola Benefits may be headquartered in Cle Elum, but our story starts on the west side. Founder Nicole Ahola was born and raised in Western Washington and spent a decade with Costco, from the Federal Way warehouse to the corporate offices in Issaquah, before building a career in employee benefits. When she founded ABC in 2017, Western Washington employers were her first clients, and today the majority of the businesses we serve are still across the Puget Sound region.
Distance has never changed the service. You reach a real person who already knows your account, whether that’s by phone, video call, or a scheduled visit. For our Western Washington clients, working with ABC feels exactly like working with a broker down the street, minus the downtown parking.
