If you live, work, worship, or go to school in the State of Washington or in Bonner or Kootenai counties in Idaho, you are eligible to join STCU.

There is a one-time membership fee of $20 (students and children under age 18 only pay $5). That's a small price to pay for the rewards you will experience with STCU.
