EXHIBIT 23.3
Independent Auditors' Consent
The Board of Directors
Glacier Bancorp, Inc.:
We consent to incorporation by reference in the registration statement on Form
S-3 of our report dated October 19, 2000, relating to the consolidated financial
statements of Glacier Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1999, which report appears in the current report on
Form 8-K of Glacier Bancorp, Inc,. dated December 14, 2000. Our report, dated
October 19, 2000, contains explanatory paragraphs indicating (i) that we did not
audit either the 1997 or 1998 financial statements of Mountain West Bank
acquired by Glacier Bancorp, Inc. on February 4, 2000 in a pooling of interests;
those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished
to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for
Mountain West Bank in the 1997 and 1998 consolidated financial statements of
Glacier Bancorp, Inc., is based solely on the report of the other auditors; and
(ii) the consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger
of Glacier Bancorp, Inc. and Mountain West Bank on February 4, 2000, which has
been accounted for as a pooling of interests.
We also consent to the reference to our firm under the heading "Experts" in the
registration statement and the prospectus.
