              COMMEMORATING THE OPENING OF SHORELINE BANK

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JAY INSLEE

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 19, 1999

  Mr. INSLEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of Shoreline Bank in 
Shoreline, Washington. On Friday, October 15th, I was honored to attend 
a ribbon cutting celebration to commemorate the opening of Shoreline 
Bank. This bank is truly the symbol of a vibrant, thriving community 
because when individuals recognized the need for a new bank, they came 
together to form Shoreline Bank. Shoreline Bank will serve local 
customers and businesses to help provide economic growth within the 
neighborhood.
  Community banks, like Shoreline Bank, are the lifeblood of our 
communities. Just as local grocers know the buying habits of their 
regular customers, community banks understand the financial needs of 
their community. I am proud to have this community-based financial 
institution in the 1st Congressional District. I am sure that they will 
be a beneficial addition to the city of Shoreline.
  I invite my colleagues to join me in saying: Welcome to the 
neighborhood, Shoreline Bank.
