How Coastal Community Bank powers Puget Sound

Published 6:00 am Monday, June 1, 2026

Rooted in strong customer relationships, personalized service and local decision making

Coastal Community Bank has proudly served the Puget Sound region since 1997, building its foundation on the belief that strong communities deserve strong local banking relationships. 

Headquartered in Everett, the team remains deeply committed to helping individuals, families, businesses and nonprofit organizations thrive through personalized service, local decision-making and long-term partnerships.

For nearly three decades, the bank has invested in initiatives that support affordable housing, education, workforce development and financial wellness throughout the region. 

Through volunteerism, nonprofit partnerships, sponsorships and charitable giving, it continues to play an active role in strengthening the communities it serves.

Setting Coastal apart is its relationship-driven approach to banking. Customers work directly with local bankers who live and work in the communities they serve, bringing a deep understanding of local industries, regional market dynamics and customer needs. 

This allows them to deliver responsive service, tailored financial solutions and the flexibility that community banking is known for.

Coastal Community Bank offers a full range of personal and business banking services, including deposit accounts, home loans, commercial lending, treasury management and cash flow solutions – combining modern banking capabilities with personalized guidance and local expertise.

“Local knowledge is our greatest asset,” says Community Impact Manager, Colleen Temple. “Because we live here, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities our customers face.”

Innovation meets tradition

In addition to its community banking operations, Coastal also powers financial innovation nationwide through its CCBX division, which supports many of the country’s leading fintech companies. 

While this national business extends their reach and technological capabilities, the bank’s identity remains firmly rooted in community banking and serving the people and businesses of the Pacific Northwest.

Coastal’s commitment to customers, employees and community has earned recognition at both the local and national levels. 

The bank has been recognized by The Daily Herald Readers’ Choice Awards as “Best Bank” and “Best Place to Work,” named “Best Bank” by the Stanwood-Camano News for more than a decade, and in 2025 named “Best in the PNW” by the Seattle Times.

Coastal has been honored by the Puget Sound Business Journal for corporate citizenship and philanthropy and has also received national recognition from organizations including KBW, Raymond James, Piper Sandler, Newsweek and TIME for its performance, growth and leadership within the banking industry.

As the banking industry continues to evolve, Coastal’s mission remains unchanged: to be a trusted financial partner dedicated to helping local businesses grow, supporting families and contributing to a stronger regional economy.
