Washington banks grew ommercial and industrial lending 5.1% in Q1

The banks in Washington state held more than $6 billion in total combined commercial and industrial loans as of March 31, 2026, marking a 5.1 increase over what was reported in the year-earlier period. This online ranking expands beyond print, adding 7 banks to the 20 featured in this week's print edition. This week's List continues a shift in our research methodology and philosophy, one that emphasizes more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 40-plus sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. This effort identified thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ's footprint — last year alone. Information on The List was obtained from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and could not be independently verified by the Puget Sound Business Journal. Rankings were determined by year-over-year percent change in commercial and industrial loan portfolios in the period analyzed. In case of ties, banks are listed alphabetically. To qualify for this List, banks are required to have a commercial and industrial lending balance at the end of the first quarter in 2026. Only institutions headquartered in Washington state are included.
