Peoples Bank will launch the Great Peoples Bank Pig Search on August 29, hiding 500 piggy banks across its 23 branches in Washington, with each containing $10 in cash. This scavenger hunt aims to engage the community and encourage participation from both customers and non-customers. Participants can find hints about the piggy bank locations on the bank's Instagram account. In addition to the piggy banks, the bank is hosting a $1,000 giveaway through an online contest, making it accessible to all. The initiative is particularly significant for Whatcom County, where the bank has nine branches.
