Fun facts about HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORP /WA/

Quirks, history, and lore behind HFWA — the kind of stuff that makes a stock memorable.

  • 1
    The Basics
    A community bank holding company · small-cap · listed on Nasdaq · rooted firmly in the Pacific Northwest.
  • 2
    The Numbers

    Its bread and butter is commercial real estate lending and business banking for the small and mid-sized companies that keep the Evergreen State humming.
  • 5
    The Lore
    Headquartered in Olympia, Washington — the state capital — it's the kind of bank where the branch manager might actually know your name, a vanishing art in modern finance.
  • 6
    The Giveaway
    Its ticker is HFWA, the "/WA/" in its legal name is a nod to Washington State, and the word "Heritage" signals exactly the old-school community banking identity it's never tried to outgrow.
