"Every customer has a story, as does every local business,” says Kevin Blair, president of Washington Trust Bank. “As a community bank, we get to be a part of those stories. We’re able to use our knowledge of the region to help people buy homes, grow businesses, and manage their money.”
Headquartered in Spokane, Washington Trust Bank serves custom-ers from a network of more than 40 locations throughout Washington, Idaho, and Oregon. Founded in 1902, it’s also the oldest and largest privately held commercial bank in the Northwest. The bank’s long com-mitment to the communities it serves has made it one of the region’s most trusted financial institutions.
