ITEM 1 - SECURITY AND ISSUER.

    Common stock, $0.01 par value

    Cascade Financial Corporation
    2828 Colby Ave.
    Everett, Washington  98201

ITEM 2 - IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

    This is Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D dated May 13, 1994, initially
filed by the three reporting individuals. Their Schedule 13D as last amended
in March of 1998 reported their aggregate beneficial ownership of 6.0% of the
issuer's common shares. This Amendment No. 3 reports the material increase, by
one percentage point, in their aggregate beneficial ownership and reports
their two controlled Washington limited liability companies through which they
now hold their securities of the issuer. They have elected not to file
Schedule 13G as passive investors for that would thereafter require annual
filings to report even immaterial changes in the information previously
reported. The reporting persons disclaim that they are acting in concert as a
group or that they beneficially own each other's shares, except that Arthur W.
Skotdal acknowledges beneficial ownership of the shares reported by Skotdal
Quality Investments, L.L.C., and Andrew P. Skotdal and Craig G. Skotdal
acknowledge beneficial ownership of the shares reported by Skotdal Brothers,
L.L.C.

ITEM 3 - SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

    Skotdal Brothers, L.L.C., used working capital contributed by its sole
members, Andrew P. Skotdal and Craig G. Skotdal, to purchase in the public

limited liability companies.

item.

(e)  Date reporting person ceased to be 5% owner:  Not applicable.

ITEM 6 - CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT

    There are no written agreements between the members of the group.  Both
Andrew P. Skotdal and Craig G. Skotdal are of legal age, and neither resides
with their father, Arthur W. Skotdal.  Because of the family relationship and
the investment advice and assistance offered by the father to his sons, the
three persons and their two controlled limited liability companies that hold
their shares may be deemed a group under Section 13(d)(3) of the Act.

ITEM 7 - MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

    Exhibit A is an agreement of the reporting persons that this statement is
filed on behalf of each of them, as required by SEC Rule 13d-1(f)(1).
