Sierra Santa Fe

Paving the Way to the Future

Sierra Santa Fe (SSF), a fourth-generation paving company in Ridgefield, Washington, evolved from the Zimmerly family dairy farm into excavation, rock, and paving. Over the years, SSF has contributed significantly to the Pacific Northwest infrastructure via local railroads and highways. David Zimmerly's sons, Paul and Parker, and his nephew, Zach, now lead the business.

When David was looking for a banking partner in Southwest Washington, the decision ultimately came down to one essential factor: trust in the people serving his business. For David, banking isn't merely about financial transactions—it's about trust, reliability, and understanding. Having worked with Justin before, David didn't hesitate to continue the relationship when the opportunity arose to work together again.

The Key to Their Success

The successful relationship between Sierra Santa Fe and its banking team is built on several foundational principles:

  • Relationship Building: At its core, the partnership thrives on meaningful, personal connections and trusted advisory relationships.
  • Legacy and Tradition: Sierra Santa Fe has cultivated a deep-rooted commitment to its community, aligning closely with our relationship-focused approach to banking.
  • Local Focus: Both companies prioritize local community growth, ensuring their efforts directly benefit the areas they serve.

"Building trust takes time, and with David, it’s always been about listening first and providing solutions that truly align with his goals. That kind of partnership is what makes this work so meaningful."
– Justin White, Pacific West Bank
