In 1960, a group of Whidbey Island business leaders felt the time had come to create an independent community bank Ai one that would serve the unique banking needs of local businesses and residents of Whidbey Island. Their vision was simple: To build a bank based on strong community values Ai one that would invest its financial capital locally. One that believed its employees are its most valuable asset. Most importantly, this bank would provide an exceptional level of service, simply by treating people for who they are Ai our friends and neighbors. We call this style of banking The Whidbey Way and, in spite of our island roots, it doesnAot end at the Clinton ferry terminal or at Deception Pass. Experience the Whidbey Way of banking at 31 branches, throughout 6 counties in Northwest Washington.
