Forbes Ranks Columbia Bank Among America's Top 20

For another year Tacoma's Columbia Bank has made the good side of Forbes' list of America's Best and Worst Banks. This year Tacoma-based Columbia shows up at number 17 out of the 100 largest publicly-traded banks in the U.S. That's a jump up from last year's spot at number 31.

The list reflects the health of the banks, based on key financial metrics along with recent growth. Columbia's rankings for this list don't yet reflect recent growth based on the acquisition of Intermountain Community Bancorp, so it's entirely possible they could have an even higher ranking in their future for next year.

Well done, Columbia.
