“We are pleased to continue our expansion throughout Alaska with our nineteenth branch. We have been part of the Kodiak community for the past few years with our Loan Production office, and we are eager to meet the needs of the community through our new full-service branch,” says Northrim Bank President Mike Huston.
The Kodiak Financial Center is led by Lending Branch Manager Mark Anderson, who has been with Northrim since 2020 and has more than twenty-five years of experience in the financial industry. The Residential Mortgage office is run by Loan Originator Carrie Morton, a long-time Kodiak resident.
