Pete DeBoer and Jeff Petterson of Olympic Printer Resources were so anxious to start banking at American Marine Bank’s newest Kingston branch, that they became the banks first customers while the staff was still moving in.

“We like to work with locally based businesses and wanted the free business checking” said Jeff Petterson, vice president of Olympic Printer. “Debbie Anderson (Branch Manager) and Ann Bopp (Assistant Manager) are also both in Kiwanis Club with us and we know they’re good quality people, the kind we want to do business with.”

American Marine Bank officially opened the Kingston branch doors on May 24th and will be throwing its grand opening gala event Friday, June 4th. The current building is only temporary as the bank plans on breaking ground this summer for the construction of a two-story 9600 square foot facility.

American Marine now has nine branch locations throughout the Puget Sound. The Kingston branch is located on the corner of highway 104 and Lindvog, and can be reached at 360-297-1711.
