New leadership at Blaine's Banner Bank

Banner Bank in Blaine has a new branch manager. Trevis Seimears recently joined the local branch of the Walla Walla-based bank as assistant vice president and branch manager.

Seimears earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and has 11 years of banking experience, including managing successful branches, according to a press release from Banner Bank.

Seamers most recently managed a Chase Bank in Bellingham. He made the move to Banner Bank because he’s worked at larger banks for most of his career and he wanted to work in a bank that focused more on the community it serves, he said.

So far, he’s found that at Banner Bank, he said.
