Sometimes, we could all use something to brighten our days. That’s why we have #RandomActsofAwesome. Could be a thank you basket for first responders. Could be a free espresso drink for everyone in line. This time it was team members out across the Washington Trust footprint distributing gift cards for use at local minority-owned businesses. We’re passionate about providing the best for the communities we serve, and even a small, random gesture can go a long way.

“Downtown is the heart of the city, it’s where we want to be.” - Peter Stanton, Executive Chairman of Washington Trust Bank, reflects with KXLY TV on our continued investment in downtown Spokane. Our first tower opened in 1974 to coincide with Expo ’74 and we recently rebranded our second downtown tower just a block away. Washington Trust now employs more than 550 across our downtown campus. The impact of Expo ’74 endures today, and Washington Trust is proud to continue its legacy with the pivotal event.

Last week Downtown Spokane Partnership hosted their annual State of Downtown & Awards Breakfast. DSP and the downtown business community help make our downtown core a thriving, dynamic place and are also making strides on some of our toughest challenges. We’re proud to support this work and were honored to pass on the Legacy Award to this year’s winner, Nordstrom Spokane. Congratulations!
