Sound Credit Union hosts ribbon cutting at downtown Olympia branch

TACOMA, WA (July 28, 2025) |

Sound Credit Union (Sound) welcomed members, employees and  community to the ribbon-cutting celebration of its new Downtown Olympia branch on  Thursday, July 24, 2025. The event was held in collaboration with the Thurston County  Chamber of Commerce. 

Sound obtained the location through its recent acquisition of Washington Business Bank  (WBB). Established in 1940, the credit union now serves over 174,000 members and offers a  wide array of consumer and business financial products and services. With the addition of  the Downtown Olympia branch, Sound now operates 26 full-service locations throughout the  Puget Sound region. 

“Sound is thrilled to have this new location in Downtown Olympia to serve our members and  the community,” said Don Clark, President & CEO of Sound Credit Union. “We currently have  over 3,500 members who live and operate their businesses within a five-mile radius of this  location. This branch allows our team to better support those members while building  meaningful connections with others in the community as their trusted financial partner. 

As part of its continued commitment to giving back, Sound presented a $2,500 donation to  the North Thurston Education Foundation (NTEF) during the event. NTEF is a nonprofit  organization that provides Student Assistance Grants to local students facing financial  barriers. 

“We are honored to partner with the foundation to help ensure students have access to the  resources they need to pursue their education and career goals,” added Clark. “Programs like  NTEF are vital to preparing the next generation for success.”
