MY EDMONDS NEWS Posted: July 9, 2021 Vern Woods To say that Vern Woods is a “people person” may be an understatement, so it comes as no surprise that he is excited to see Edmonds opening back up for business after many months of lockdown. A banking professional in Edmonds for more than 25 years, Vern joined Peoples Bank five years ago as Branch Manager of the Mill Creek branch and was immediately tasked with opening and leading the Bank’s Edmonds branch. Under Vern’s leadership, the Edmonds branch opened in July 2016 and moved to its permanent location at 201 Main Street in September 2019. In March, Vern was promoted to District Manager, with four other branches now under his purview.
