Riggs, M.D. The term of Dr. Riggs expires on December 31, 2014. The Board is composed of member and independent directors, as discussed in the Seattle Bank's Form 8-K filed on November 15, 2012, and in "Part III. Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance" in the Seattle Bank's 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 22, 2012.
David F. Wilson has served as an independent director of the Seattle Bank since 2007.
