October 21, 2021 | Federal Way, Washington | International Credit Union Day

In October 2020 our Federal Way Branch celebrated its 5th anniversary, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic we were unable to safely gather together to celebrate the milestone. In the meantime we prepared to move to a new location within the City of Federal Way and remain in the community we grew to know and serve.

Even as the pandemic took its toll we pushed forward with our plan to purchase our own building and relocate our branch in order to more efficiently and effectively serve our members, churches, and organizations.

Finally, in October 2021, on International Credit Union Day, we gathered together with local politicians, church leaders, community activists, and business professionals for the Grand Re-Opening and Ribbon Cutting of our newly relocated and renovated branch.
