    Rooted in Community Since 1915

    For more than 100 years, Timberland Bank has proudly served the individuals, families, and businesses of western Washington. Since 1915, the bank has remained committed to helping communities grow through trusted relationships, personalized service, and a genuine understanding of local needs.

    With deep roots in the communities they serve, Timberland Bank continues to take a community first approach to banking. From personal checking and savings accounts to home loans, construction financing, and commercial lending, their goal has always been to provide solutions that help customers succeed at every stage of life and business.

    Banking That Feels Personal

    At Timberland Bank, relationships come first. The bank is especially known for its business, construction, and home loan services, helping customers navigate some of life’s biggest milestones with confidence.

    Rather than taking a one size fits all approach, the team takes the time to understand each customer’s unique goals and challenges. Because their lenders live and work in the communities they serve, customers benefit from local expertise, responsive service, and personalized financing solutions from people who truly know the area.

    That hometown connection allows Timberland Bank to provide the kind of service that larger institutions often cannot replicate.

    Community Banking in Action

    What truly sets Timberland Bank apart is its commitment to being actively involved in the community beyond banking.

    Employees are encouraged to serve as leaders, volunteers, and advocates throughout the region. Team members contribute their time and talents to numerous nonprofits, civic organizations, and community initiatives across Gig Harbor and beyond.

    The Gig Harbor team has longstanding involvement with organizations including local Rotary Clubs, the Gig Harbor Museum, the Downtown Waterfront Alliance, and the City Tax Lodging Committee. Their involvement reflects the bank’s belief that strong communities are built through service, collaboration, and connection.

    A Strong Partnership with the Gig Harbor Chamber

    Timberland Bank joined the Gig Harbor Chamber of Commerce because of its shared mission to support local businesses and strengthen the small business community.

    Over the years, the bank has remained actively engaged with the Chamber through sponsorships, networking events, lunches, and community celebrations. The team especially values its partnership in the annual Maritime Gig Parade and appreciates the opportunities the Chamber creates for businesses to connect and support one another.

    Their continued involvement demonstrates Timberland Bank’s belief that thriving local businesses are essential to a strong and vibrant community.

    Helping Customers Build Their Dreams

    One of the most rewarding parts of the work for the Timberland Bank team is helping customers achieve homeownership dreams through true community banking.

    Their Gig Harbor lending team supports customers through every step of the process, from application through underwriting and approval. For the lenders, one of the greatest rewards is driving through town and seeing homes they helped finance standing throughout the community.

    One customer story in particular perfectly reflects Timberland Bank’s commitment to finding local solutions and putting customers first.

    During the pandemic, a customer was in the middle of building a home when inspection companies were unable to access the property, putting the project at risk of delay. Rather than allowing construction to come to a halt, Timberland Bank’s lenders stepped in and found a creative solution by taking photos through the home’s windows so the process could continue moving forward.

    It was a simple but meaningful example of how community banking can make a real difference. By staying flexible, responsive, and personally invested in their customers’ success, Timberland Bank helped keep one family’s dream on track during an incredibly challenging time.

    Looking Ahead

    Timberland Bank remains focused on continuing its involvement throughout the Gig Harbor community for years to come. Each year, the bank hosts and sponsors events that support local residents and organizations, including their annual Free Community Shred Days, sponsorship of the Gig Harbor Paddlers Cup, and participation in the Maritime Gig Parade.

    In addition, Timberland Bank contributes thousands of dollars annually to local nonprofits, programs, and community events across the regions they serve.

    As the bank looks toward the future, its mission remains the same as it was more than a century ago: supporting local people, businesses, and communities through trusted relationships and community focused banking.

    More Than a Bank

    For Timberland Bank, community banking means more than providing financial services. It means showing up, staying involved, and helping neighbors succeed.

    After more than 100 years, Timberland Bank continues to prove that local relationships, personalized service, and community commitment still matter and that those values remain at the heart of everything they do.
