If you are looking for a way to make the most of your money, consider a Certificate of Deposit (CD) at Evergreen State Bank. With a CD you choose a fixed period of time in which you will earn a higher interest rate than you would on a savings account. CD’s are FDIC insured.

A Personal Banker would be happy to provide information about current CD specials.
