Need recommendations on good bank for small business

Hello Fellow EE'ers,

I'm opening a new business checking account, so I'd like to hear some recommendations on which banks in the Seattle area are best for small business. I'm looking for low or no monthly fee, direct deposit, debt card, interest on checking (or checking/savings combo that earns interest), and a branch in Bellevue.

Thanks.

John

Of course I meant debit card, not debt card :)

Thanks Joe! I'll check it out. As for the biz...not so much a new biz, as it is a re-invigorated effort. :) I have lots of opps opening up, time to capitalize.

John, for what it's worth I use U.S.bank for my business account and Bank of America for my charity. Six of one, 1/2 dozen of another. Both banks have zero service charges but both loose points when it comes to foreign exchange transactions.
