The Bank is a Washington-chartered commercial bank that conducts business from its main office in Walla Walla, Washington and, as of December 31, 2025, it had 135 branch offices and 15 loan production offices located in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah and Nevada.
As of December 31, 2025, we had total consolidated assets of $16.35 billion, net loans of $11.56 billion, total deposits of $13.74 billion, and total shareholders equity of $1.95 billion.
The Bank s primary business is that of traditional banking institutions accepting deposits and originating loans in locations surrounding our offices in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Utah and Nevada.
Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans and investment securities and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities composed primarily of client deposits and supplemented by Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) advances, other borrowings, and junior subordinated debentures.
We typically sell most of the one- to four-family residential loans we originate into the secondary market, with net gains on sales and loan servicing fees recognized as mortgage banking revenue.
However, demand for these loans slowed in 2024 and 2025 due to elevated interest rates, which reduced refinance activity and overall origination volumes.
At December 31, 2025, our net loan portfolio totaled $11.72 billion compared to $11.35 billion at December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2025, 13% of the loan portfolio, $1.57 billion, consisted of permanent one- to four-family residences.
