NOTE 14 – SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

Most of the Company’s commercial and multi-family real estate, construction, residential, and commercial business lending activities are with customers located in Western Washington, the Oregon Coast, or near our loan production offices in Vancouver and the Tri-Cities, Washington. The Company originates real estate, consumer, and commercial business loans and has concentrations in these areas, however, indirect home improvement loans, including solar-related home improvement loans are originated through a network of home improvement contractors and dealers located throughout Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, Minnesota, Nevada, Texas, Utah, Massachusetts, Montana, and New Hampshire. Loans are generally secured by collateral and rights to collateral vary and are legally documented to the extent practicable. Local economic conditions may affect borrowers’ ability to meet the stated repayment terms. At December 31, 2024, the concentration on commercial real estate remains below the 300% of Risk Based Capital regulatory threshold at 256.8%, and the subset of construction loans, excluding owner-occupied loans is within Board approved limits. The concentration of construction, land development, and other land loans represented 89.8% of the Bank’s total regulatory capital at  December 31, 2024, remaining below the 100% regulatory threshold. These loans are focused on in-city, infill vertical construction financing in King and Snohomish counties. Local economic conditions may affect borrowers’ ability to meet the stated repayment terms.
