Membership is available to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Washington State. You may even become a member if you have a relative who is a member or is eligible to become a member. Membership requires a minimum initial deposit of $25 in the base savings account. Please refer to the credit union's Membership page for the full details.

Branches are located in Richland, Kennewick, Pasco, Yakima and Sunnyside, WA. The credit union is federally insured by the NCUA (Charter # 68239). It has $511.5 million in assets and 68,414 members.
