First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Port Angeles will be opening a new bank branch on Bainbridge Island next year.

The new branch will be located at 323 NE High School Road in early 2018.

Troy Wills, vice president of First Federal, said the community banker was excited to be bringing its business to the island.

“We are excited to be joining the Bainbridge community soon,” Wills said. “First Federal’s core values center around community and customer service.”

First Federal offers personal and business banking, online banking, mortgage, commercial and personal lending. The bank was also recently awarded a five-star rating by Bauer Financial.

“First Federal’s innovative technology blended with our boutique banking atmosphere in our new markets, develops full banking relationships in the communities we reside in,” Wills added.

The company first opened in 1923 in Port Angeles, and has 10 locations throughout Clallam, Kitsap, Jefferson and Whatcom counties.
