Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 26, 2013, Northwest Bancorporation, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its results of operations and financial condition for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On April 26, 2013, the Company filed Form 15 with the SEC to deregister its common stock pursuant to section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act ("JOBS Act"). The JOBS Act, which was signed into law on April 5, 2012, allows a bank or bank holding company with 1,200 or less shareholders of record to deregister with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company expects that its obligation to file periodic reports such as annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K will be suspended 90 days after filing the Form 15. The Company's stock is expected to continue trading on the OTCQB Marketplace under the trading symbol NBCT.

The Company further discussed the filing of Form 15 in a press release issued on April 26, 2013. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
