Notice to Keyport Residents, Former Residents, Employees, Former Employees, and Retirees:
Do you have a story to tell about your association with the Naval Undersea Warfare Engineering
Station? Maybe you held your first job at Keyport in the early days, maybe your family took in
boarders during the World War II rush, or maybe you were involved in the new joint
Canadian/U.S. test range in British Columbia.
Whatever your involvement, we want to hear from you. We feel that we were only able to
scratch the surface in the time we had to research this book. Although there were many people
who loaned us photographs and told us their recollection of the past, there were many more that
we missed.
We are putting together an archives to aid in future endeavors to preserve Keyport's history.
Your story will help make it complete.
Please write us; send in your name, address, phone number, and story. It doesn't have to be in
any particular form: hand or typewritten, informal notes or essay; whatever you can do, we'll
appreciate. Send to:

SERVICE: The Tradition at Keyport and Kitsap Federal Credit Union
Kitsap Federal Credit Union Commemorates Keyport's 75th Anniversary
|
|
Kitsap Federal Credit Union is proud to be a part of the rich heritage of NUWES Keyporl. Begun by a small group of Shipyard Employees in 1934 and originally known as the Navy Yard Metal Trades Credit Union, Kitsap Federal Credit Union has grown to include six branches, including our very important and historical branch in Building 1 at Keyport.
Early History of the Credit Union at Keyport
Kitsap Federal Credit Union was formed in 1934 by a handful of employees at PSNS who realized that by pooling their resources, they could offer credit and savings to each other at competitive rates. Their original pool of assets totalled $35.50! The Credit Union was characterized by its spirit of cooperation and volunteerism which is a heritage that continues at Kitsap Federal Credit Union and its Keyport Branch.
In the late 1930's, Keyport employees became interested in joining the Navy Yard Metal Trades Credit Union, which at that time was open only to employees of PSNS who were members of the Metal Trades Council. In 1947, the bylaws were amended to include all PSNS employees. Then, in 1954, the Credit Union approved a change that expanded the field of membership to include all employees at Naval installations in Kitsap County, including all at NUWES Keyport.
When Keyport employees became eligible for membership in the Credit Union, Credit Union Treasurer Oscar Cooper suggested that Keyport Tool and Die-Maker Robert Stewart become an active volunteer at KFCU. At that time, Bob was also a delegate to the Metal Trades Council. Bob joined the KFCU Credit Committee and recalls that although KFCU did not have a building at Keyport, he and other volunteers distributed loan applications, and later joined part-time employees in cashing paychecks and writing temporary receipts. He remembers that KFCU had approximately $125,000 in assets (compared with today's $180 million!).
After being located in several 'closet-size' areas on Keyport, in the 1960's, the Credit Union moved into its present location. A large number of Keyport employees

and their families are active members and volunteers at KFCU, pooling their resources to help each other meet their financial needs.
The Tradition of Service Continues
KFCU's Keyport branch, managed by Mary Morgan, offers a full range of financial services to all Keyport employees, contractors, and their extended families. We invite you to join us in celebrating the rich heritage of Keyport and we thank you for allowing us to play an important role!
