First Sound Bank

Founded by a team of local banking executives, First Sound Bank is committed to delivering personalized services, convenient access and competitive rates to support the needs of the local business community.

First Sound Bank was chartered by the State of Washington in July 2004 with the largest initial capital base of any de novo in the Pacific Northwest at the time. Multiple bank mergers and the shrinking availability of local banking service centers compelled Don Hirtzel and Steve Shaughnessy to team up and create a business bank that caters to small and medium-sized businesses, not-for-profit organizations, entrepreneurs, professionals, and service companies.

In March 2008, First Sound Bank purchased Puget Sound Leasing, a Bellevue-based and locally owned company that specializes in providing and servicing commercial equipment lease financing for transactions from $5,000 to $250,000. Puget Sound Leasing originates leases throughout the U.S. and offers clients attractive leasing options and professional, personalized service. Visit www.pugetsoundleasing.com for more information.
