Its closure marks the tenth bank failure in Washington this year. 
The bank was quickly sold to Los Angeles, 
Calif.-based GBC International Bank. GBC 
acquired most of Shoreline’s performing assets.
Shoreline suffered severely from loan losses, 
especially in its commercial and development 
sector. The loan defaults and delinquencies 
were the main contributor to its deteriorated capital levels. Shoreline had been operating under   

a “prompt corrective action” order (pdf, 5 pages)  

issued by the state regulator and the FDIC in May 

that ordered it to immediately raise capital or sell itself.

At the time of closure, Shoreline had $104.2 million  

in assets and $100.2 million in deposits. It had 

three locations, including its headquarters, all in Shoreline.
