Non-performing assets continue to decline and are .52 percent of total assets — one of the lowest ratios of any bank in Washington state.

Kitsap Bank remains highly liquid, largely due to strong core deposit growth; deposits totaled $790 million on Sept. 30. The company continues to maintain a strong capital position, with total capital exceeding $100 million, according to the bank.
