BELLEVUE, WA — May 27, 2026 — Puget Sound Cooperative Credit Union (PSCCU), proudly known as Washington's Green Credit Union,® is pleased to announce the opening of its newest branch, located in the Post Office building at 221 A Street in Eastsound, Orcas Island. Opening June 22, 2026, this expansion marks a meaningful milestone in PSCCU's ongoing commitment to bringing ethical, people-first banking to an island that shares those values.
Island residents and visitors are invited to an Open House to be held on Saturday, June 20 from 10:00am–2:00pm. Drop in to see the building renovations, meet our staff, and grab free snacks, drinks, and giveaways. All are welcome; no RSVP needed.
Orcas Island is home to a thriving, close-knit community and beautiful landscape that make it one of Washington's most beloved destinations. PSCCU is excited to join the island economy, bringing a full-service, member-focused credit union to the island to serve residents and visitors alike, year-round.
"PSCCU is a natural fit for Orcas Island — a community that shares our commitment to sustainability and looking out for one another. Expanding here is something we've been looking forward to since purchasing the building in 2021, and we're committed to being a financial resource islanders can rely on," said Brandy McBride, CEO of PSCCU. "We're not just opening a branch — we're making a long-term investment in the island community."
The Eastsound branch will operate year-round, offering the full range of PSCCU's financial products and services to both permanent island residents and the many visitors who make Orcas Island their summer destination. Island residents can open checking and savings accounts or apply for vehicle, home equity, and first mortgage loans.
As Washington's Green Credit Union, PSCCU's dedication to environmental responsibility is reflected in the services it provides. The credit union offers loans for solar installations, energy-efficiency improvements, emergency backup generators, and electric vehicles and home charging stations. These services offer island residents affordable solutions that reflect the realities of island life while protecting the natural beauty of the San Juan Islands.
PSCCU looks forward to serving the many small businesses, sole proprietors, and self-employed islanders who make up a vital part of the Orcas Island economy. The new branch will offer a night drop plus business checking and saving accounts tailored to the needs of small organizations (including LLCs, associations and clubs, charitable events, and benevolent accounts).
As a proud member of the CO-OP Shared Branching network, the new branch will also welcome members of other participating credit unions. This means that credit union members from across the country can conduct their banking transactions in Eastsound — a convenient benefit for visitors and a boost to the local economy. In addition to serving credit union members, the branch will employ island residents, becoming part of the island's economic fabric.
PSCCU is a member of the Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce and is committed to being an active part of island life — not just a place to do your banking. The branch will feature a dedicated area to showcase artwork by local artists, giving them a welcoming venue to display and sell their work. Artists interested in showing their pieces are invited to contact the credit union at Orcas@psccu.org.
