First Fed Bank (FDIC cert 28405) is a mid-sized bank with $2.2B in total assets and $1.7B in deposits, based in Port Angeles, Washington. Mid-sized banks typically operate regionally with a mix of commercial and consumer lending.

Capital position is strong: Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.40% sits comfortably above the 8% well-capitalized regulatory threshold and the 10% well-capitalized-plus floor for community banks. Strong capital is the first line of defense against unexpected loan losses. Asset quality is normal: non-performing loan ratio of 1.90% sits in the typical 0.5-2% range for healthy U.S. banks. Some NPL is unavoidable in any meaningful lending portfolio. Liquidity is in the normal range: 17.7% liquid assets relative to total assets — adequate for standard operating needs and routine deposit outflows.

Profitability is negative: ROA of -0.08% means the bank lost money during the reporting period. Sustained negative ROA erodes capital and triggers escalating regulatory attention. Health-score trend is declining materially over the most recent quarters. Declining trends warrant attention — banks in this pattern often face follow-on regulatory engagement and elevated supervisory scrutiny. First Fed Bank carries a composite BankHealth grade of C (61/100) as of the 2024-06 Call Report filing. The grade combines capital ratios (Tier 1), asset quality (non-performing loans), liquidity, and profitability into a single signal.
