Northwest Commercial Bank is a full service bank specializing in serving individuals and small businesses. “Our experienced bankers make the difference and our customers have shown that they were ready for more individualized service. We believe we can provide all of our customers the type service shown only to private banking clients at other banks,” Graff pointed out.
Located at 5726 100th Street SW in Lakewood, Northwest Commercial Bank also operates a branch in Auburn, a loan production office in Puyallup and recently opened its mortgage banking division, Northwest Mortgage Capital Group.
