In addition, Fahey also joins the bank’s board of directors after serving as a consultant to the board for the past year.

Fahey was founder and CEO of Pacific Northwest Bank, which was acquired by Wells Fargo Bank.

He has more recently been retained to assist banks that have been negatively impacted by the current economic downturn.

Fahey said that since the majority of my career has been in local community banking, I am strongly committed to supporting the Bank’s focus on serving the needs of small- to medium-sized businesses – and their owners and employees – with superb service and responsiveness.

First Sound Bank offers customized banking for small- to medium-sized businesses, organizations, not-for-profits and professionals in the Puget Sound region.
