Our History
Serving Members for Over 80 Years
Our credit union was formed in 1937 to meet the financial needs of a group of people with a common bond. Harry Morgan, the general manager at a Weyerhaeuser plant site, recognized that employees needed assistance between paydays – and how a credit union could help. From our humble beginnings to today, one thing has always held true about our story: we’re passionate about people.
