BECU Expands to Lower Queen Anne

SEATTLE, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- BECU, Washington's largest community credit union, continues to add neighborhood locations with the Grand Opening of its newest Neighborhood Financial Center in Lower Queen Anne in Seattle. To celebrate the grand opening, BECU representatives will be out in the neighborhood February 5 and 6, demonstrating how credit unions "give back" to their members by handing out dollar bills to community members.

The new Neighborhood Financial Center is located at the corner of Mercer St. and 1st Avenue W. in the thriving Lower Queen Anne business district, within walking distance of many businesses, apartments, condos and homes.

"BECU is thrilled to be growing in our local community," said Gary Oakland. "Unlike banks, which emphasize profits for shareholders and executives, BECU is a cooperative of our members. Our profits are invested right back into better benefits for our members and the communities we serve in Western Washington."

BECU also marked the Queen Anne grand opening by presenting donations to local non-profits Plymouth Housing Group and Queen Anne Helpline during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, February 4.

Plymouth Housing Group operates several affordable housing complexes in Seattle (including one in the Lower Queen Anne neighborhood). Queen Anne Helpline provides a variety of support services to low-income, elderly and disabled community members.
