             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                June 30, 2004
                                 (unaudited)

1.   Presentation of Financial Information

     The accompanying financial information is unaudited and has been prepared
from the consolidated financial statements of Cascade Financial Corporation
(the "Corporation"), its subsidiaries, Cascade Bank (the "Bank" or "Cascade")
and Cascade Capital Trust I (the "Trust"), and the Bank's subsidiary, Cascade
Investment Services, Inc.  All significant intercompany balances have been
eliminated in the consolidation. In the opinion of management, the financial
information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition,
results of operations, and cash flows of the Corporation pursuant to the
requirements of the SEC for interim reporting.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures included in the Corporation's
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, have been condensed
or omitted from this report.  Accordingly, these statements should be read with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Corporation's
December 31, 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.   Commitments and Contingencies

     In the normal course of business there are various commitments to fund
mortgage loans. Management does not anticipate any material loss as a result of
these commitments.

     Periodically there have been various claims and lawsuits against the
Corporation or the Bank, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation
proceedings on properties in which the Bank holds security interests, claims
involving the making and servicing of real property loans and other issues
incidental to the Corporation's and the Bank's business.  In the opinion of
management no material loss is expected from any of such pending lawsuits.

3.   Financial Statement Reclassification

     Certain amounts in the financial statements for 2003 have been
reclassified to conform with the financial statement classification for 2004.

*Diluted net income per share excludes merger expenses

As of June 30, 2004, and 2003 there were anti-dilutive options to purchase
shares of  81,630 and 0 respectively, excluded from the above disclosure.

     b)   Cash Dividend Declared

     On June 23, 2004 the company announced its eighth consecutive cash
dividend payment.  The dividend was $0.07 per share and was paid on July 21,
2004 to shareholders of record on July 7, 2004.

     c)   Stock-based compensation

     The Corporation measures its employee stock-based compensation
arrangements using the provisions outlined in Accounting Principles Board (APB)
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," which is an
intrinsic value-based method of recognizing compensation costs. As none of the
Corporation's stock options have an intrinsic value at grant date, no
compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plans.

     The Corporation applies Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for its stock option
plans.  Had compensation cost on the fair value at the grant dates for the
Corporation's stock option plan been determined to be consistent with the

        Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                  Condition and Results of Operations
        ----------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding the financial
condition and results of the Corporation.  The information contained in this
section should be read with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements and its accompanying notes, and the December 31, 2003 audited
consolidated financial statements and its accompanying notes included in our
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This section contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected. Those factors include, but are not limited to: the impact of the
current national and regional economic recession on small business loan demand
in the Puget Sound area; loan delinquency rates; the Bank's ability to continue
to attract quality commercial business; interest rate movements; changes in the
demographic make-up of the company's market area; fluctuation in demand for the
Bank's products and services; the Corporation's ability to attract and retain
qualified people, and other factors. For a discussion of factors that could
cause actual results to differ, and for certain mandated SEC guide 3
information that has not materially changed since the balance sheet, please see
its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Acquisition
-----------

     On June 3, 2004 the Company acquired Issaquah Bancshares, Inc, "Issaquah".
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and
accordingly, the assets and liabilities were recorded based on their fair
values at the acquisition date.  The merger enhances Cascade's commercial
banking franchise by expanding Cascade's presence in East King County.  Total
Issaquah assets on June 3, 2004 were approximately $131 million and the total
value of the transaction, both cash and stock, was approximately $34.3 million
as measured under the provisions of FAS 141.  Cascade issued approximately 1.3
million shares and paid cash of  $9.5 million in connection with the merger.
The Bank booked $25.9 million in intangible assets associated with the
transaction including $24.8 million in goodwill and a $1.1 million core deposit
intangible that will be amortized under the straight-line method over an eight
year period of time.

                        CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
                        ------------------------------

     Total assets increased 22.7% or $165.9 million to $1.1 billion at June 30,
2004, compared to $885.2 million at December 31, 2003. Of that amount, $131.0
million were obtained when Issaquah Bancshares merged with the Corporation on
June 3, 2004. Net loans, i.e. net of deferred loan fees and the allowance for
loan losses, increased 27.8% or $148.2 million to $715.3 million at June 30,
2004, from $567.1 million at December 31, 2003. Of that amount, $100.9 million
came from Issaquah Bancshares.

     Even though $23.1 million in securities were obtained in the merger,
investment securities decreased $17.3 million for the Corporation to $259.2
million at June 30, 2004, compared to $276.5 million at December 31, 2003.  The
net reduction in the investment portfolio from the beginning of the year was
the result of $49.3 million in called securities and $68.1 million in sales
that were not totally offset with purchases.  The decline in the investment
portfolio funded the growth of the loan portfolio and increases in interest
bearing deposits. The investments made during the quarter, as well as the
existing investment portfolio, are concentrated in the securities of Government
Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs, e.g FNMA or FHLMC) and collateralized mortgage
obligations (CMOs) backed by pools of single family residential mortgages.  All

                                     11

additions to the investment portfolio during the quarter were rated AA or
better in terms of credit quality by Moody's and/or Standard & Poors.  As of
June 30, 2004, all investment securities are rated AAA, except a corporate bond
with a book value of $5.8 million that is rated AA by both rating services.

     We currently hold one security in our available-for-sale portfolio and one
security in our held to maturity portfolio that have had an unrealized loss for
more than one year.  The losses are not related to credit deterioration, but
increases in interest rates.  If rates were to move downward in the future, the
market value of these securities would rise accordingly.  We have the ability
to hold the investments for a period of time sufficient for a market price
recovery.  Therefore, we do not consider any portion of these investments to be
other-than-temporarily impaired.

     As the Bank continued its focus on deposit generation, total deposits
increased by $131.0 million from $564.3 million at December 31, 2003 to $695.3
million at June 30, 2004, of which $105.8 million was from the merger with
Issaquah Bancshares.  Federal Home Loan Bank-Seattle (FHLB) advances increased
by $11.5 million from $200.0 million at December 31, 2003 to $211.5 million at
June 30, 2004.  Cascade assumed $15 million of advances in the merger.
Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $2.6 million from
$39.9 million at December 31, 2003 to $37.3 million at June 30, 2004.

     Stockholders' equity increased by $26.1 million from $64.0 million at
December 31, 2003 to $90.1 million at June 30, 2004. The increase is primarily
attributable to the issuance of stock in conjunction with the Issaquah
Bancshares merger, which was $24.8 million. The Corporation's eighth
consecutive cash dividend, which was declared June 23, 2004, reduced
stockholders' equity by $667,000.  Accumulated comprehensive income decreased
by $2.4 million to a negative $2.6 million as of June 30, 2004.


Loan Portfolio

     Virtually all the Bank's loans are to businesses or individuals in the
Puget Sound area.  Business loans are made to small and medium sized businesses
within that area.  Included in the business loan total are loans secured by
real estate where the borrower is the primary tenant.  Real estate construction
loans are extended to builders and developers of single family, residential
real estate.  The majority of these projects focus on entry level homes and/or
first trade-up homes.  Commercial real estate loans fund small, non-owner
occupied buildings.  Home equity and consumer loans are primarily second
mortgages on the borrower's primary residence.  These loans comprise 72% of the
home equity and consumer portfolio.  The balance of this category is non-
residential, e.g. automobiles, credit cards, or boats.

     Residential loans, held in the Bank's portfolio, are generally adjustable
rate loans secured by single family residences.  The Bank also originates
longer term fixed rate residential loans, but sells the vast majority of those
loans into the secondary market on a "best efforts", servicing released basis.
Beginning in the third quarter 2004, the Bank intends to sell a large
percentage of its hybrid ARM's as well, i.e. loans with an initial fixed rate
period that then converts to an adjustable mortgage.  Multi-family loans are
usually hybrid ARM's secured by mortgages on projects with five or more units.

     As displayed in the following table, total loans increased by $150.1
million to $727.1 million as of June 30, 2004, compared to $577.0 million
December 31, 2003.  In keeping with the Bank's evolution to a commercial bank,
loans more closely associated with a commercial bank, i.e. business, real
estate construction, and commercial real estate loans grew $142.1 million to
$493.1 million as of June 30, 2004, compared to $351.0 million as of December
31, 2003.

                                      13

<PAGE>

     Residential lending balances and consumer lending balances grew slightly.
Residential loans increased by $2.8 to $108.3 million.  Multi-family loans
increased $4.8 million to $92.0 million.  Home equity loans and other consumer
loans increased $502,000 to $33.7 million.

(Loans held for sale are included in residential loans and at less than 1% of
total loans are not considered material.)

Asset Quality

-------------

     Non-performing assets (non-performing loans and real estate owned) totaled
$1.6 million and $2.4 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003,
respectively.  Non-performing loans, those on non-accrual, those that are
ninety days past due, and those that management otherwise has serious
reservations about their collectibility, decreased to $702,000 at June 30,
2004, from $1.9 million at December 31, 2003. Of the $702,000, $552,000 were
business loans, $113,000 were residential, and $37,000 were home equity and
consumer loans. Real estate owned (REO) was $919,000 as of June 30, 2004
compared to $474,000 at December 31, 2003.  All REO, on both dates, represented
residential property.

     At June 30, 2004 the Bank's loan loss allowance totaled $9.5 million
compared to $7.7 million at December 31, 2003, which includes $1.4 million
acquired from Issaquah Bancshares. The allowance for loan losses was 1.30% of
total loans outstanding at June 30, 2004 compared to 1.34% at December 31,
2003. The allowance for loan losses was 1,349% of non-performing loans at June
30, 2004. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to
provide for losses based on management's evaluation of known and inherent risks
in the portfolio.  This evaluation includes analyses of the financial condition
of the borrower, the value of the collateral securing selected loans,
consideration of historical loss experience and management's projection of
trends affecting credit quality. The increase in the allowance is primarily
attributable to the continued emphasis on business and construction lending,
and a slowdown in the economy of our market area. Management believes that the
allowance for losses on loans is adequate to provide for losses that may be
incurred on non-performing loans.

     During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, loan charge-offs equaled $8,000
while recoveries were $13,000 resulting in net recoveries of $5,000 for the

      Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

General

     Due to merger related expenses associated with the acquisition of Issaquah
Bancshares, net income decreased 3.2% to $2.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2004 compared to $2.4 million during the comparable period in
2003.  Without merger expenses, net income was $2.8 million.  The income
statement reflects one month of income and expense totals for Issaquah
Bancshares.  Diluted net income per share was $0.26 for the quarter ended June
30, 2004 and $0.28 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of
8.9%.  Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1.1
million to $7.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.  Other income
decreased by $263,000 to $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.
Other expense increased $902,000 to $5.3 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2004 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2003.  The Bank paid no
prepayment fees on Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances during the quarter
ended June 30, 2004, compared to $276,000 during the quarter ended June 30,
2003.

     Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $4.9 million
compared with $4.7 million during the comparable period in 2003 (without
merger related expenses net income was $5.4 million).  Net income per diluted
share was $0.55 for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with $0.56 in
2003. The $2.0 million increase in net interest income more than offset the
$726,000 decrease in other income and the $774,000 increase in other expenses.
Other expenses included a decrease of $692,000 in FHLB prepayment fees and an
increase of $503,000 in salaries and employee benefits.

Net Interest Income

     Net interest income increased 16.9% or $1.1 million to $7.8 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $6.7 million for the three

interest earning assets increased $100.0 million or 12.4% to $908.4 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2004 and $79.9 million or 9.9% to $883.6 for
the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003.
Average total loans (including loans held for sale) increased $81.6 million to
$640.7 million and average investment securities increased $26.9 million to

quarter of the prior year.

     The net interest margin increased 14 basis points to 3.46% for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same quarter the prior year.  The
yield on interest earning assets decreased 43 basis points to 5.78% for the
three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 6.21% for the three months ended
June 30, 2003.  The cost of funds decreased 60 basis points to 2.59% for the
three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to 3.19% for the same period in 2003.
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the net interest margin increased 8
basis points from 3.35% to 3.43%.

     The yield on assets decreased as the low rate environment continued.
However, with the repayment of higher cost FHLB advances and a 3 basis point
reduction in cost of deposits, funding costs continue to fall.  The cost of
liabilities declined as the rates paid on deposits dropped with the general
level of interest rates.  Deposits continued to reprice to slightly lower rates
throughout the quarter.

Provision for loan losses

     Cascade's provision for loan losses was $150,000 for the three months and
$375,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  The provision was $300,000
and $675,000 for the same periods in 2003, respectively.  The provision is
based on management's evaluation of known and inherent risks in the portfolio,
as well as loss experience.  With very low loss experience, a reduction in
adversely classified loans, and the addition of the $1.4 million in allowance
for loan loss from Issaquah Bancshares, the Bank was able to lower its
provision.

     The immediate prospects for the economy in the Corporation's market area
(Snohomish County and East King County of Washington state) are gradually
improving. Boeing's decision to assemble the 7E7 in Everett has provided a
basis for optimism, as have the recent upbeat economic releases.  In addition,
Microsoft has continued to add to its payroll and the housing market remains
strong.

     Nonetheless, management continues to emphasize the growth of the business,
construction, and income property portfolios.  These loans typically have a
higher credit risk that may require additions to the reserve in future periods.
Management monitors these loans at an increased level to maintain credit
quality and adequate reserve levels.  A dramatic slowdown in the housing market
could have a material effect on the economy and its lending institutions.

Other Income

     Other income decreased $263,000 or 18.1% to $1.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to $1.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2003.  Other income was $2.3 million and $3.0 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 respectively.  For the three
months ended June 30, 2004, gain on the sale of investment securities decreased
by $463,000 to $112,000 compared to the same quarter in 2003.  Checking fee
income rose to $503,000 compared to $317,000 for the same period in the prior
year.  During 2004, the Bank added new checking fee services, made a concerted
effort to expand the deposit customer base, and was more diligent in the
collection of fees.  The end of the refinancing wave resulted in a decline on
gain on sale of loans, which decreased $186,600 from $268,600 to $82,000 for
the quarter.

     While the Corporation is pursuing many avenues to augment its other (non-
interest) income, it will continue to focus on replacing the gain on sale of
securities and loans with net interest income in the near future.

Other Expense

     Other expense was $5.3 million for the three months and $9.8 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared with $4.4 million for the three
months and $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in
other expense was primarily the result of $633,000 in merger related expenses
and personnel expenses.

     Salary and employee benefit expenses increased $355,000 to $2.7 million
during the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same quarter last
year.  Salary and employee benefit expenses was $5.3 million for the six month
period ended June 30, 2004 and $4.8 million in the same period for 2003. The
increase in these expenses was primarily due to an increase in the number of
employees, as the Bank added to its lending staff.

     Merger related expenses totaled $633,000 in the second quarter of 2004 and
were as follows:

                                                Quarter ended

     The remaining other operating expense categories, excluding merger
expenses, totaled $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and

                                      17

<PAGE>

$3.8 million for the six months period as of the same date.  For the same
period in 2003, other operating expenses were $1.8 million and $3.5 million
respectively.

     Federal income tax expenses increased $195,000 to $1.3 million, an
increase of 17.6% during the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the
same period last year.  For the three months ended June 30, 2004, the
Corporation's effective tax rate was 36% due to the non-deductible nature of
some merger related expenses.  For the six months ended June 30, 2004, income
tax expense was $2.5 million compared to $2.2 million in 2003, with an
effective tax rate of 34%.  Tax benefits related to bank owned life insurance
and interest on tax exempt loans accounted for the difference from the
expected" Federal income tax rate of 34% during each of the periods.

</TABLE>


Income Property includes Commercial Real Estate and Multi-family lending.


     Interest income is assigned based upon the loans held by that line of
business.  Investment income is assigned to Administration.  Interest expense
is allocated based upon the Corporation's cost of funds and the average
maturity of the line of business's assets.  Overhead is allocated on the basis
of average total assets.

Liquidity and Sources of Funds

     The Bank monitors its liquidity position to assure that it will have
adequate resources to meet its customer's needs. Potential uses of funds are
new loans; the disbursement of construction loans in process; draws on unused
business lines of credit and unused consumer lines of credit; the purchase of
investment securities; and deposit withdrawals.  As of June 30, 2004, Cascade
had $40.9 million of construction loans in process, $70.8 million in unused
business lines of credit and $22.0 million in unused consumer lines of credit.
While most of the loans in process will be funded as the construction projects
move toward completion, only a modest portion of the business and consumer
lines will require funding.  Historically, the Bank's business customers use
34% of their lines at any given time.  About 45% of the home equity lines of
credit are drawn upon at any point in time.  Cash flows from operations
contribute to liquidity as well as proceeds from maturities of securities and

                                      19

<PAGE>

customer deposits.  As indicated on the Company's condensed Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows, net cash from operating activities for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 contributed $1.3 million to liquidity compared to $3.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2003.  Net cash from operating
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 contributed $5.1 million to
liquidity compared to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

     Funding needs are met through existing liquidity balances, deposit growth,
FHLB-Seattle advances, and other borrowings, as well as the repayment of
existing loans and sale of single family loans. Cascade maintains balances in
FHLB deposits, which equaled $663,000 as of June 30, 2004 and $1.1 million at
December 31, 2003. Liquidity is also provided by the Bank's unencumbered
securities portfolio.  Securities that could be pledged to secure additional
funding at the FHLB-Seattle or the repurchase market were $110.4 million at the
end of the quarter and $127.0 million as of December 31, 2003.

     Subject to the availability of eligible collateral, the Bank's credit line
with the FHLB-Seattle is 35% of total assets or up to approximately $367.9
million at current asset levels. At June 30, 2004, the Bank had $211.5 million
in advances and an unused line of credit from the FHLB-Seattle of approximately
$156.4 million. The Bank also uses reverse repurchase agreements to provide a
flexible source of funding.  At June 30, 2004 the Bank had $37.3 million in
reverse repurchase agreements outstanding. The Bank also has combined Fed funds
lines of $13.0 million with two of its correspondent banks; neither of which
were used during the quarter.

Capital Resources

     The Corporation's usual main source of capital is the retention of its net
income. In connection with the acquisition of Issaquah Bancshares, the
Corporation issued 1.263 million shares of common stock.  The value of the
stock, for financial reporting purposes, was valued at $79.50 per share, the
average price per share for the five trading days before and after February 11,
2004, the date the merger announcement was made.  Consistent with FAS 141, the
total value of stock issued was recorded as $24.8 million.

     The Corporation also receives capital through the exercise of options
granted to employees and directors. The Corporation permits employees and
directors to tender shares of Cascade's stock which they have held for a
minimum of six months to exercise options.

     At its June 2004 meeting, the Board of Directors authorized a stock
repurchase program of up to 200,000 shares of the Corporation's stock.  As of
June 30, 2004, no stock had been repurchased under this program.  The
repurchase program does not obligate the Corporation to acquire any specific
number of shares.  The main focus of the program is to offset the dilution
created by the exercise of stock options and other stock grants.

     On March 1, 2000 Cascade Capital Trust I issued $10.0 million par value
trust preferred securities. Cascade Capital Trust I is a statutory business
trust created for the exclusive purposes of issuing and selling capital
securities and utilizing sale proceeds to acquire junior subordinated debt
issued by Cascade Financial Corporation.  Accordingly, the junior subordinated
debentures are the sole assets of the Trust, and payments under the junior
subordinated debentures will be the sole revenues of the Trust.  All of the
common securities of the Trust are owned by the Corporation.  In keeping with
the recently adopted FIN 46R, the Corporation's balance sheet has replaced

                                      20

<PAGE>

"trust preferred securities" with "junior subordinated debentures payable",
although there have been no changes in terms of the underlying obligations.
The Trust has been deconsolidated upon adoption of FIN 46R at December 31, 2003
and did not have a significant impact on the Corporation's financial condition
or results of operations.

     On June 23, 2004, the Board of Directors declared the Corporation's eighth
consecutive cash dividend.  The $.07 per share dividend was paid on July 21st
to shareholders of record on July 7th. The $667,000 dividend payout represented
29.2% of quarterly earnings.

Capital Requirements

     Both the Corporation and Cascade Bank are subject to regulatory capital
requirements.  Cascade Bank is in full compliance with all capital requirements
established by the FDIC and the Washington State Department of Financial
Institutions. The Bank's regulatory capital requirements are expressed as a
percentage of assets.   As of June 30, 2004, for the purposes of this
calculation, the Bank's average total assets and total risk-weighted assets
were $910.1 million and $794.2 million respectively. The related excess capital
amounts as of June 30, 2004 are presented in the following table (dollars in
thousands):

     Core capital                      Amount    Percentage

     The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA") was signed into law on December 19, 1991.  Among other things, the
FDICIA provides the FDIC, effective December 19, 1992, with broad powers to
take "prompt corrective action" to resolve problems of insured depository
institutions.  The actions the FDIC can take depend upon whether the
institution in question is "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized,"
"undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized" or "critically
undercapitalized."  Under FDIC guidelines, Cascade Bank is a "well capitalized"
institution as of June 30, 2004, which requires a core capital to assets of at
least 6% and a risk based capital to assets of at least 10%.

     The Corporation, as a bank holding company regulated by the Federal
Reserve, is also subject to capital requirements that are similar to those for
Cascade Bank. The Corporation is well capitalized under Federal Reserve
guidelines with a Tier 1 ratio of 8.43% and a Risk Based ratio of 10.84%.

      Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
      -------------------------------------------------------------------

                          ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
                          --------------------------

     The Bank, like other financial institutions, is subject to fluctuations in
interest rates because its interest-bearing liabilities re-price on different
terms than its interest-earning assets. Cascade actively monitors the inherent
interest rate risk for the potential impact of changes in rates on the Bank.

     The Bank uses a simulation model as its primary tool to measure its
interest rate risk.  A major focus of the Bank's asset/liability management
process is to preserve and enhance net interest income in likely interest rate
scenarios. Further, Cascade's Board of Directors has enacted policies that
establish targets for maximum negative impact that changes in interest rates
have on the Bank's net interest income, the fair value of equity and adjusted
capital/asset ratios under certain interest rate shock scenarios.  Key
assumptions are made to evaluate the change to Cascade's income and capital to
changes in interest rates.  These assumptions, while deemed reasonable by
management, are inherently uncertain.  As a result, the estimated effects of
changes in interest rates from the simulation model could likely be different
than actual experience.

     Using standard interest rate shock (an instantaneous uniform change in
interest rates at all maturities) methodology, as of June 30, 2004 the Bank is
well within the guidelines established by the Board for the changes in net
interest income and the adjusted capital/asset ratios.  As of June 30, 2004,
the Bank's net interest income decreases 9.1% in the up 200 basis point
scenario and decreases 5.4% in the down 200 basis point scenario, within the
established guideline of a 10% decline.  Using the same methodology, the
adjusted capital/asset ratio is 6.2% in the up 200 basis point scenario, and
11.2% in the down 200 basis point scenario, both above the 5% established
guideline.  Under the down 200 basis point scenario, the Bank's fair value of
equity increases 18%.  In the up 200 basis point scenario, the Bank's fair
value of equity decreases 39%, which is in excess of the maximum guideline of
30% established by the Board.  This increase in measured exposure from the
prior period is primarily as a result of a change in the interest risk model
used by the Bank that had the effect of lengthening the average life attributed
under the shock methodology test of certain investment securities held by the
Bank.

     Since the third quarter of 2003, the Bank has sought to limit the
extension risk of the investment portfolio in the event that interest rates
rise.  The maximum final maturity of callable investments eligible for purchase
has been reduced from 15 years to 7 years.  CMO's purchased must generally not
have average life extensions of more than 6 years in an up 200 basis point
interest rate shock scenario.  The Asset/Liability Policy has been amended to
include limits on the percentage of investments that mature in greater than 10
years and limits on CMOs that have too large of variability in average lives.

     The Bank has sought to manage its interest rate exposure through the
structure of its balance sheet. To limit its interest rate risk, the Bank has
sought to emphasize its loan mix toward prime based business and construction
loans. In addition to selling virtually all new 15 and 30 year fixed rate
loans, it has begun selling its hybrid ARM residential loans as well.

                                      22

<PAGE>

     The Bank extends the maturity of its liabilities by offering long-term
deposit products to customers, and by obtaining longer term FHLB-Seattle
advances. As of June 30, 2004, $183.0 million of the $211.5 million in advances
had original maturities greater than one year, $28.5 million matured in less
than one year. Of the total amount, $160.0 million of these advances have
provisions that allow the FHLB to convert the advance to a LIBOR based,
adjustable rate borrowing.  The FHLB would exercise this option if interest
rates rise.  In a +200 basis point rate shock scenario, only a total of $10
million would be converted within six months.

     During the first quarter of 2004, the Bank sought to extend the maturity
of its liabilities through interest rate swaps.  The swaps, representing $20
million of notional 5 years and $20 million of notional 10 years, were executed
as cash flow hedges in anticipation of maturing Federal Home Loan Bank
advances.  Given the uncertainty of whether the transaction would qualify for
hedge accounting treatment under FAS 133, the Bank opted to terminate these
agreements at a small net gain in early April 2004.

                     Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
                     --------------------------------

               EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
               ------------------------------------------------

     An evaluation of the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as
defined in section 13(a) - 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Act")) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the
Registrant's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and several
other members of the registrant's senior management as of June 30, 2004. The
Registrant's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that
the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are
effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the
Registrant in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated
and communicated to the Registrant's management (including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms.

                         CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS
                         ----------------------------

     In the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Registrant did not make any
significant changes in, nor take any corrective actions regarding, its internal
controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls.

                   DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND INTERNAL CONTROLS
                   -----------------------------------------

     Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of
ensuring that information required to be disclosed in Cascade Financial
Corporation's reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities
and Exchange Commission's (SEC) rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also
designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated
and communicated to management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. Internal Controls are procedures which are
designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1)
transactions are properly authorized; (2) assets are safeguarded against
unauthorized or improper use; and (3) transactions are properly recorded and
reported, all to permit the preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

                 LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS
                 --------------------------------------------

     Cascade Financial Corporation's management does not expect that our
disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide
only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be
considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all
control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Cascade Financial
Corporation have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns
can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or
more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system
of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood

                                      24

<PAGE>

of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time,
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the
inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
