“Here for good” is a statement of purpose for STCU, defining its relationship to credit union members, and their communities.
It also speaks to the permanence of a credit union that was founded during the Great Depression.

From as far back as Spokane’s early years, the 50 acres a few blocks east of downtown were anything but pretty.
By the 1960s, when community leaders realized that area and the rail yards downtown had become a blight on the community, those 50 acres were plagued by waste and neglect.
Fortunately, it wasn’t too long after that realization that things changed for the better.
