Credit union referral

I have wanted to shift over to a local credit union for many years, but it has always remained a task buried beneath more urgent ones. I am finally ready to pursue it more proactively. Can people recommend local credit unions that they have good experiences with? Free checking with no minimum would be nice, as would friendly staff, overall user-friendly and relatively transparent policies, etc. Thank you.

We've been with USE for the last 6 years. No complaints. Don't use the branch much, but got a used car loan with them and they were helpful and friendly.

We’ve been doing nearly all our banking with Patelco for a while. We’ve never paid a penny in fees and get cash back on our credit card. I have only been in a branch a couple times, but they were pretty friendly.
