Might wanna put Eastern WA in the title. All their branches are in eastern wa, but I’m guessing a lot of your WA readers would be in the Seattle area (west)
Done
The membership page states anyone who lives, worships, works, attends school in WA state can join, so ALL of WA state not just eastern part.

Shouldn’t be an issue if I’m in Idaho, should it? It’s about a 30-min drive and it’s on the way to a regular stop for me.
Not sure
Gonna try to make it there today! I’ll be the DP that I want to see. 🙂
Awesome, keep us updated 🙂
Opened account, but did not receive the $100. The banker did not auto-enroll me into eStatements. Took approximately 14 hours to get my online banking login information and I have since enrolled in eStatements and sent an SM asking about the dividend. (I know about the “Don’t call the bank” article, but I felt this scenario was different).
I opted out of overdraft protection and have not seen an inquiry on Credit Karma, as of yet.
I would not have been able to open an account without working in WA, since I’m an Idaho resident. I personally didn’t lie about working in WA, as the company I work for is based in Spokane, but there was no verification that I actually worked there at the time of signup. They only asked for the company name.
Lastly, there is a $5 “membership fee”. They open a Savings account and you must deposit at least $5 in order to create a checking account. So realistically, you need $505 in order to qualify for the bonus.
I’ll report back if/when I get the bonus.
Follow-up: SM got me the $100 bonus within an hour. The branch that you signed up at has to pay out.
Thanks, Jesse!
