Coastal Community Bank Named Best Bank in Best of Stanwood-Camano 2026 While Continuing Strong Community Impact

EVERETT, Wash., Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Coastal Community Bank (the “Bank”, “Coastal”, “our”, “we”), has been named Best Bank in the Best of Stanwood-Camano 2026, a recognition voted by the community that reflects the trust and support of customers, community partners, and local residents in the communities the Bank serves.

In addition to this recognition, Coastal Community Bank continues to demonstrate its commitment to strengthening local communities through volunteerism, financial education, youth development, and charitable initiatives. “Our commitment to the community continues, and our community bank remains the heart of who Coastal is,” said Chris Adams, Executive Chair of the Corporation.

Coastal recently sponsored the annual 3-on-3 Basketball Tournament held in Everett on July 17–18, welcoming 235 youth and adult teams. Coastal team member Michael Swanson served as coach for the boys 12–13 division.

The Bank also proudly sponsors Youth Vendor Day in Snohomish, a program that helps young people transform business ideas into reality while building confidence, leadership skills, and financial literacy through workshops and real-world marketplace experiences. Coastal extends special recognition to Melissa Hemrich for volunteering her time to teach financial education modules and support aspiring young entrepreneurs.

Further supporting local families, Coastal is conducting a School Supply Drive for students in the Everett and Arlington School Districts, with donations being collected through August 7 at select banking centers.

“From the beginning, Coastal has been community-minded. We invest in the places where we live and work and take care of the people who make our communities strong,” said Tom Lane, Lead Independent Director and local businessman.

As Coastal continues to grow, its commitment remains the same: supporting local businesses, strengthening neighborhoods, and creating opportunities that help communities thrive for generations to come.
