Columbia Bank is now Umpqua Bank

The $5.1 billion Columbia Bank and Umpqua bank merger was finalized, at least locally, last week as workers overlayed an Umpqua Bank banner over the previous Columbia Bank sign.

Dean Diaz, not pictured, of Sign and Graphics in Nampa, was also on hand to oversee successful installation of the sign. Photo by Philip A. Janquart
