Our History
South Sound Bank was founded in January of 2000 by local business leaders who understood real life business challenges. Some of those business leaders became members of our Board of Directors. These business owners brought experience from different industries and wanted to see Thurston County grow and prosper.
South Sound Bank began with 7 staff members, we are happy to have 5 of those original members still working with us today. We hire knowledgeable, motivated people to enhance your banking experience. Today we staff over 30 employees in our 2 locations.
