We started doing our banking for Live In Everett at Peoples Bank after they opened their new flagship branch in Downtown Everett last year. They are a sponsor of ours, but we've grown pretty fond of their services. Here are 5 things we dig about Peoples Bank.

1. They're local

Headquartered in Bellingham, we like that they're a local company born and bred here in Washinton state.

2. Tim the Till man Teller

I always enjoy stopping by Peoples Bank. Not because I like errands, but because their service is fast and Tim the teller is super cool. He's the one typically at the front counter helping us out.  You'll always leave Peoples Bank with a little more pep in your step. 

3. Parking!

Have you ever had trouble parking in Downtown Everett? It can definitely be an issue sometimes. The fact that Peoples Bank has customer parking is a huge plus.

4. Art & Coffee

Peoples Bank is visually stunning in terms of art and design. Light Art fixtures, Herman Miller chairs, local artist Paul Vexler's wood sculptures on display. We appreciate they put extra thought into the interior design and worked with local artists and fabricators to create a beautiful space. They also have a Nespresso machine in the waiting area so we always grab a couple'a shots for the road. 

5. Their heart for community

Not only is Peoples Bank a big supporter of Live In Everett (thanks PB), they have a huge heart for the local community general. It's in their DNA. When we asked them to come on our Podcast, they declined and instead asked that we feature representatives from the local non-profit Cocoon House, to discuss their organizations work with homeless and at risk youth.

We're not sure about you, but we don't know many businesses that'll pass up an opportunity to market themselves. We thought this was pretty remarkable. 

You can learn more about Cocoon House and the amazing work they're doing over on their website, or listen to our podcast interview with them here.
