A Yakima fixture losing a little ground
It has lent in Yakima since 1990 and ranks 3 of 216 lenders there, behind CMG Mortgage and American Pacific Mortgage. Its share slipped to 5.1% from 6.0%, and in Kennewick-Richland to 1.6% from 2.1%. Much of that may be arithmetic: its loans fell 1% to 409 while the whole market grew 10%, and similar lenders (savings institutions making between half and twice as many loans) grew 5%.
