Loans Receivable | Loans Receivable The Company originates loans in the ordinary course of business and has also acquired loans through FDIC-assisted and open bank transactions. Loans acquired in a business combination may be further classified as “purchased” loans. Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination for which it is probable that not all contractually required payments will be collected are accounted for under FASB ASC310-30. These loans are identified as PCI, or purchased credit impaired loans. Loans purchased that are not accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30 are accounted for under FASB ASC 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, and are referred to as "non-PCI" loans. Disclosures related to the Company's recorded investment in loans receivable generally exclude accrued interest receivable and net deferred loan origination fees and costs because they are insignificant. (a) Loan Origination/Risk Management The Company categorizes loans in one of the four segments of the total loan portfolio: commercial business, one-to-four family residential, real estate construction and land development and consumer. Within these segments are classes of loans for which management monitors and assesses credit risk in the loan portfolios. The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies, and nonperforming and potential problem loans. The Company also conducts internal loan reviews and validates the credit risk assessment on a periodic basis and presents the results of these reviews to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk identification and assessment decisions made by loan officers and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures. A discussion of the risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment is as follows: Commercial Business : There are three significant classes of loans in the commercial portfolio segment: commercial and industrial loans, owner-occupied commercial real estate and non-owner occupied commercial real estate. The owner and non-owner occupied commercial real estate are both considered commercial real estate loans. As the commercial and industrial loans carry different risk characteristics than the commercial real estate loans, they are discussed separately below. Commercial and industrial. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may include a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. Commercial real estate. The Company originates commercial real estate loans within its primary market areas. These loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate involves more risk than other classes of loans in that the lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and payments on loans secured by real estate properties are dependent on successful operation and management of the properties. Repayment of these loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate market or the economy. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are generally of lower credit risk than non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans as the borrowers' businesses are likely dependent on the properties. One-to-Four Family Residential : The majority of the Company’s one-to-four family residential loans are secured by single-family residences located in its primary market areas. The Company’s underwriting standards require that single-family portfolio loans generally are owner-occupied and do not exceed 80% of the lower of appraised value at origination or cost of the underlying collateral. Terms of maturity typically range from 15 to 30 years. Historically, the Company sold most single-family loans in the secondary market and retained a smaller portion in its loan portfolio. From the second quarter of 2013 until May 1, 2014, the Company only originated single-family loans for its loan portfolio. As a result of the Washington Banking Merger, since May 1, 2014 the Company has been originating and selling a majority of its single-family mortgages. Real Estate Construction and Land Development : The Company originates construction loans for one-to-four family residential and for five or more family residential and commercial properties. The one-to-four family residential construction loans generally include construction of custom homes whereby the home buyer is the borrower. The Company also provides financing to builders for the construction of pre-sold homes and, in selected cases, to builders for the construction of speculative residential property. Substantially all construction loans are short-term in nature and priced with variable rates of interest. Construction lending can involve a higher level of risk than other types of lending because funds are advanced partially based upon the value of the project, which is uncertain prior to the project’s completion. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction costs as well as the market value of a completed project and the effects of governmental regulation of real property, the Company’s estimates with regard to the total funds required to complete a project and the related loan-to-value ratio may vary from actual results. As a result, construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project and the ability of the borrower to sell or lease the property or refinance the indebtedness. If the Company’s estimate of the value of a project at completion proves to be overstated, it may have inadequate security for repayment of the loan and may incur a loss if the borrower does not repay the loan. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being dependent upon successful completion of the construction project, interest rate changes, government regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing. Consumer : The Company originates consumer loans and lines of credit that are both secured and unsecured. The underwriting process for these loans ensures a qualifying primary and secondary source of repayment. Underwriting standards for home equity loans are significantly influenced by statutory requirements, which include, but are not limited to, a maximum loan-to-value percentage of 80% , collection remedies, the number of such loans a borrower can have at one time and documentation requirements. To monitor and manage consumer loan risk, policies and procedures are developed and modified, as needed. The majority of consumer loans are for relatively small amounts disbursed among many individual borrowers which reduces the credit risk for this type of loan. To further reduce the risk, trend reports are reviewed by management on a regular basis. As a result of the Washington Banking Merger, the Company is originating indirect consumer loans. These loans are for new and used automobile and recreational vehicles that are originated indirectly by selected dealers located in the Company's market areas. The Company has limited its purchase of indirect loans primarily to dealerships that are established and well known in their market areas and to applicants that are not classified as sub-prime. Loans receivable at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted of the following portfolio segments and classes: September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 (In thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial $ 638,082 $ 596,726 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 578,147 572,609 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 802,502 753,986 Total commercial business 2,018,731 1,923,321 One-to-four family residential 78,253 72,548 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 52,052 51,752 Five or more family residential and commercial properties 97,108 55,325 Total real estate construction and land development 149,160 107,077 Consumer 330,933 298,167 Gross loans receivable 2,577,077 2,401,113 Net deferred loan costs 1,900 929 Loans receivable, net 2,578,977 2,402,042 Allowance for loan losses (30,211 ) (29,746 ) Total loans receivable, net $ 2,548,766 $ 2,372,296 (b) Concentrations of Credit Most of the Company’s lending activity occurs within Washington State, and to a lesser extent Oregon. The Company’s primary market areas are concentrated along the I-5 corridor from Whatcom County to Clark County in Washington State and Multnomah County in Oregon, as well as other contiguous markets. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio consists of, in order of balances at September 30, 2016 , non-owner occupied commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and owner-occupied commercial real estate. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , there were no concentrations of loans related to any single industry in excess of 10% of the Company’s total loans. (c) Credit Quality Indicators As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk grade of the loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) nonperforming loans, and (v) the general economic conditions of the United States of America, and specifically the states of Washington and Oregon. The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 10. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows: • Grades 1 to 5: These grades are considered “pass grade” and include loans with negligible to above average but acceptable risk. These borrowers generally have strong to acceptable capital levels and consistent earnings and debt service capacity. Loans with the higher grades within the “pass” category may include borrowers who are experiencing unusual operating difficulties, but have acceptable payment performance to date. Increased monitoring of financial information and/or collateral may be appropriate. Loans with this grade show no immediate loss exposure. • Grade 6: This grade includes "Watch" loans and is considered a “pass grade”. The grade is intended to be utilized on a temporary basis for pass grade borrowers where a potentially significant risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term. • Grade 7: This grade includes “Other Assets Especially Mentioned” (“OAEM”) loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and is intended to highlight loans with elevated risks. Loans with this grade show signs of deteriorating profits and capital, and the borrower might not be strong enough to sustain a major setback. The borrower is typically higher than normally leveraged, and outside support might be modest and likely illiquid. The loan is at risk of further decline unless active measures are taken to correct the situation. • Grade 8: This grade includes “Substandard” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, which the Company has determined have a high credit risk. These loans also have well-defined weaknesses which make payment default or principal exposure likely, but not yet certain. The borrower may have shown serious negative trends in financial ratios and performance. Such loans may be dependent upon collateral liquidation, a secondary source of repayment or an event outside of the normal course of business. Loans with this grade can be placed on accrual or nonaccrual status based on the Company’s accrual policy. • Grade 9: This grade includes “Doubtful” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and the Company has determined these loans to have excessive credit risk. Such loans are placed on nonaccrual status and may be dependent upon collateral having a value that is difficult to determine or upon some near-term event which lacks certainty. Additionally, these loans generally have a specific valuation allowance or have been partially charged-off for the amount considered uncollectible. • Grade 10: This grade includes “Loss” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines, and the Company has determined these loans have the highest risk of loss. Such loans are charged-off or charged-down when payment is acknowledged to be uncertain or when the timing or value of payments cannot be determined. “Loss” is not intended to imply that the loan or some portion of it will never be paid, nor does it in any way imply that there has been a forgiveness of debt. Numerical loan grades for loans are established at the origination of the loan. Loan grades are reviewed on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if necessary, by the credit department. The Bank follows the FDIC’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy for subsequent classification in the event of payment delinquencies or default. Typically, an individual loan grade will not be changed from the prior period unless there is a specific indication of credit deterioration or improvement. Credit deterioration is evidenced by delinquency, direct communications with the borrower, or other borrower information that becomes known to management. Credit improvements are evidenced by known facts regarding the borrower or the collateral property. The loan grades relate to the likelihood of losses in that the higher the grade, the greater the loss potential. Loans with a pass grade may have some estimated inherent losses, but to a lesser extent than the other loan grades. The OAEM loan grade is transitory in that the Company is waiting on additional information to determine the likelihood and extent of the potential loss. The likelihood of loss for OAEM graded loans, however, is greater than Watch graded loans because there has been measurable credit deterioration. Loans with a Substandard grade are generally loans for which the Company has individually analyzed for potential impairment. For Doubtful and Loss graded loans, the Company is almost certain of the losses, and the outstanding principal balances are generally charged-off to the realizable value. The following tables present the balance of the loans receivable by credit quality indicator as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 .

Potential problem loans may include PCI loans as these loans continue to accrete loan discounts established at acquisition based on the guidance of FASB ASC 310-30. Potential problem loans as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $101.0 million and $110.4 million , respectively. The balance of potential problem loans guaranteed by a governmental agency, which guarantee reduces the Company's credit exposure, was $2.2 million and $3.0 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. (d) Nonaccrual Loans Nonaccrual loans, segregated by segments and classes of loans, were as follows as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 : September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 (In thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial $ 3,849 $ 5,095 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 2,984 2,027 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 1,983 — Total commercial business 8,816 7,122 One-to-four family residential 35 38 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 2,008 2,414 Five or more family residential and commercial properties — — Total real estate construction and land development 2,008 2,414 Consumer 681 94 Nonaccrual loans $ 11,540 $ 9,668 The Company had $3.0 million and $1.3 million of nonaccrual loans guaranteed by governmental agencies at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. PCI loans are not included in the nonaccrual loan table above because these loans are accounted for under FASB ASC 310-30, which provides that accretable yield is calculated based on a loan's expected cash flow even if the loan is not performing under its contractual terms. (e) Past due loans The Company performs an aging analysis of past due loans using the categories of 30-89 days past due and 90 or more days past due. This policy is consistent with regulatory reporting requirements. The balances of past due loans, segregated by segments and classes of loans, as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows: September 30, 2016 30-89 Days 90 Days or Greater Total Past Due Current Total (In thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial $ 587 $ 1,165 $ 1,752 $ 636,330 $ 638,082 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 2,063 1,871 3,934 574,213 578,147 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 759 1,983 2,742 799,760 802,502 Total commercial business 3,409 5,019 8,428 2,010,303 2,018,731 One-to-four family residential 112 — 112 78,141 78,253 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential — 865 865 51,187 52,052 Five or more family residential and commercial properties 459 — 459 96,649 97,108 Total real estate construction and land development 459 865 1,324 147,836 149,160 Consumer 1,407 620 2,027 328,906 330,933 Gross loans receivable $ 5,387 $ 6,504 $ 11,891 $ 2,565,186 $ 2,577,077 December 31, 2015 30-89 Days 90 Days or Greater Total Past Due Current Total (In thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial $ 2,900 $ 2,679 $ 5,579 $ 591,147 $ 596,726 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 2,240 2,609 4,849 567,760 572,609 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 2,177 184 2,361 751,625 753,986 Total commercial business 7,317 5,472 12,789 1,910,532 1,923,321 One-to-four family residential 490 — 490 72,058 72,548 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential — 2,392 2,392 49,360 51,752 Five or more family residential and commercial properties 118 42 160 55,165 55,325 Total real estate construction and land development 118 2,434 2,552 104,525 107,077 Consumer 3,029 202 3,231 294,936 298,167 Gross loans receivable $ 10,954 $ 8,108 $ 19,062 $ 2,382,051 $ 2,401,113 There were no loans 90 days or more past due that were still accruing interest as of September 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015 , excluding PCI loans. (f) Impaired loans Impaired loans include nonaccrual loans and performing troubled debt restructured ("TDR") loans. The balances of impaired loans as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are set forth in the following tables.

The average recorded investment of impaired loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are set forth in the following table. Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 (In thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial $ 9,625 $ 8,692 $ 9,750 $ 10,776 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 4,553 4,882 4,560 4,151 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 12,107 10,256 12,232 8,893 Total commercial business 26,285 23,830 26,542 23,820 One-to-four family residential 265 259 267 315 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 3,177 3,639 3,253 4,312 Five or more family residential and commercial properties 1,619 1,997 1,746 2,032 Total real estate construction and land development 4,796 5,636 4,999 6,344 Consumer 885 159 907 329 Total $ 32,231 $ 29,884 $ 32,715 $ 30,808 For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , no interest income was recognized subsequent to a loan’s classification as nonaccrual. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , the Bank recorded $156,000 and $501,000 , respectively, of interest income related to performing TDR loans. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Bank recorded $278,000 and $905,000 , respectively, of interest income related to performing TDR loans. (g) Troubled Debt Restructured Loans A TDR loan is a restructuring in which the Bank, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. TDRs are considered impaired and are separately measured for impairment under FASB ASC 310-10-35, whether on accrual ("performing") or nonaccrual ("nonperforming") status. The Company has more stringent definitions of concessions and impairment measures for PCI loans as these loans have known credit deterioration and are generally accreting income at a lower discounted rate as compared to the contractual note rate based on the guidance of FASB ASC 310-30. The majority of the Bank’s TDR loans are a result of granting extensions of maturity on troubled credits which have already been adversely classified. The Bank grants such extensions to reassess the borrower’s financial status and to develop a plan for repayment. The second most prevalent concessions are certain modifications with extensions that also include interest rate reductions. Certain TDRs were additionally re-amortized over a longer period of time. These modifications would all be considered a concession for a borrower that could not obtain similar financing terms from another source other than from the Bank. The financial effects of each modification will vary based on the specific restructure. For the majority of the Bank’s TDRs, the loans were interest-only with a balloon payment at maturity. If the interest rate is not adjusted and the modified terms are consistent with other similar credits being offered, the Bank may not experience any loss associated with the restructure. If, however, the restructure involves forbearance agreements or interest rate modifications, the Bank may not collect all the principal and interest based on the original contractual terms. The Bank estimates the necessary allowance for loan losses on TDRs using the same guidance as used for other impaired loans.

Loans that were modified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are set forth in the following tables: Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 2015 Number of Contracts (1) Outstanding Number of Contracts (1) Outstanding Principal Balance (1)(2) (Dollars in thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial 8 $ 2,324 10 $ 3,598 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 2 576 2 1,102 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 1 818 1 1,082 Total commercial business 11 3,718 13 5,782 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 5 2,274 2 1,087 Five or more family residential and commercial properties 1 1,606 0 — Total real estate construction and land development 6 3,880 2 1,087 Consumer 2 26 — — Total TDR loans 19 $ 7,624 15 $ 6,869 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 2015 Number of Contracts (1) Outstanding Number of Contracts (1) Outstanding Principal Balance (1)(2) (Dollars in thousands) Commercial business: Commercial and industrial 15 $ 2,915 29 $ 6,443 Owner-occupied commercial real estate 2 576 7 2,201 Non-owner occupied commercial real estate 1 818 6 15,634 Total commercial business 18 4,309 42 24,278 Real estate construction and land development: One-to-four family residential 5 2,274 6 2,681 Five or more family residential and commercial properties 1 1,606 1 415 Total real estate construction and land development 6 3,880 7 3,096 Consumer 6 70 2 144 Total TDR loans 30 $ 8,259 51 $ 27,518 (1) Number of contracts and outstanding principal balance represent loans which have balances as of period end as certain loans may have been paid-down or charged-off during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 . (2) Includes subsequent payments after modifications and reflects the balance as of period end. As the Bank did not forgive any principal or interest balance as part of the loan modification, the Bank’s recorded investment in each loan at the date of modification (pre-modification) did not change as a result of the modification (post-modification). Of the 19 loans modified during the three months ended September 30, 2016 , eight loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $1.4 million had no prior modifications. Of the 30 loans modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , 15 loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $1.7 million had no prior modifications. Of the 15 loans modified during the three months ended September 30, 2015 , six loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $2.3 million had no prior modifications. Of the 51 loans modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , 27 loans with a total outstanding principal balance of $8.8 million had no prior modifications. The remaining loans included in the tables above for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were previously reported as TDRs. The Bank typically grants shorter extension periods to continually monitor these troubled credits despite that the extended date may not be when cash flows from these troubled credits are expected. The Company does not consider these modifications a subsequent default of a TDR as new loan terms, specifically new maturity dates, were granted. The potential losses related to these loans would have been considered in the period the loan was first reported as a TDR and adjusted, as necessary, in the current period based on more recent information. The related specific valuation allowance at September 30, 2016 was $639,000 for loans that were modified as TDRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 . There were no loans that were modified during the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 . There was one commercial and industrial loan totaling $98,000 at September 30, 2015 that was modified during the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the three months ended September 30, 2015 because the borrower was 90 days delinquent on his scheduled payment. There was one commercial and industrial loan of $1.8 million at September 30, 2015 that was modified during the previous twelve months and subsequently defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 because the borrower did not make the specific curtailment payments on the loan in prior periods, but for which the required payment was made during the three months ended September 30, 2015.
