Press Release

Granite Falls, WA, January 2008 - The City of Granite Falls was incorporated in 1903. Part of the charm of this community is its turn-of-the-century architecture, unique local shops and eateries, and western foothills atmosphere.

Granite Falls is named for the thundering waterfalls cut into solid granite by the nearby Stillaguamish River. It has easy access to the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and is a focus for outdoor adventure-seekers. Railroad Days, the first week in October, is a popular event.

The City of Granite Falls purchased the core BIAS Software system: BARSFund, Utility Billing, Payroll, and Cash Receipting after thoroughly researching all BARS-compliant software options. Lotta Hines, Clerk/Treasurer, called BIAS Clients who praised the user-friendly software and BIAS Technical team. She is impressed with her options for system support; either online or by phone. BIAS Accounting Software will begin implementation in early January 2008.
