“Prospering for 140 Years - Baker Boyer National Bank,” Family Business Legacy Series, Davis Wright Tremaine, Seattle

Our discussion was led by Megan Clubb, CEO of the Bank and the great-great granddaughter of bank co-founder Dr. D.S. Baker, and Peter Allen, Executive Vice President and a member of the 6th generation in the business. They shared their views on responding to challenge, the role of family in family business, and the need for re-invention.

It now operates with five branches, including wealth management and business banking offices, in Yakima and the Tri Cities
