History & Mission Statement

How Sunset Science Park Federal Credit Union
became the Friendliest Place in Cedar Mill

In 1960, eight people from Electro Scientific Industries (ESI) each invested $5.00 for a share in the newly chartered Electro Scientific Industries Federal Credit Union.  This was the start of an employee benefit for the company located on Science Park Drive.

A volunteer treasurer ran the day to day transactions and a second volunteer typed up the loan documents.  After the first year, 50% of the ESI employees were members of the credit union which now had almost $20,000 in assets.

The credit union was able to slowly grow over the next 15 years.  Due to continuous layoffs in the electronics field, in 1977 the credit union was officially expanded to allow all employees located on Science Park Drive the ability to join.  To better reflect the membership, the name was changed to Sunset Science Park Federal Credit Union.

In 1997, the credit union purchased its current office building (1100 NW Murray Drive) and installed an ATM and drive thru for the convenience of its members.

Today, Sunset serves over 2,000 very happy members with assets exceeding $25,000,000.
