50 YEARS AGO (1959)

First National Bank of Everett now had more than $65 million in resources. Its directors were J.A. Norway, Wm. G. Reed, L.N. Reichmann, Geo. J. Schuchart, Robert E. Waltz and W. Doyle Watt. Located at the corner of Hewitt and Colby avenues, it had a drive-in branch at 2919 Hoyt Ave. Other branches were located in Lynnwood, Marysville, Snohomish, Monroe and Sultan.
