State Bank Northwest expands new branch to Palouse

PALOUSE - A new full-service branch of State Bank Northwest opened in Palouse, Thursday, Jan. 12, 2023 at 305 East Main Street, Suite 101.

State Bank Northwest President and COO, Lorilei Bruggink, announced the opening of the new full service branch in Palouse, with the intention of expanding the bank's rural footprint.

"With a number of banks closing in Whitman County over the past two years we discovered a vital need for a local, full-service 'brick and mortar' branch," said Bruggink, "we are pleased to welcome the new Palouse branch to the family."

State Bank Northwest was founded in 1902 in Garfield, Washington, as the State National Bank of Garfield, and is privately headquartered in Spokane.

The bank offers business banking, consumer banking, agricultural banking, residential and commercial mortgage services in the Spokane Valley, North Spokane, Garfield, Colfax, Rockford, and now Palouse.

"The Palouse branch will be serving new and existing farms, small business, and consumer clients. We encourage people in Palouse and the surrounding area to stop by and meet our new team members, Tera and Bev." Bruggink said.
