Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(a)
On October 31, 2008, Director Harold Warren retired as a Director of Timberland Bancorp, Inc ("Company") and its financial institution subsidiary, Timberland Bank ("Bank"). Mr. Warren's retirement was as a result of his reaching the Company's mandatory retirement age for Directors as provided in the Bylaws and not as a result of any disagreement with the Company or the Bank. Mr. Warren served on the Company's Audit and Budget Committees. The Company and the Bank have received extensive benefits from Mr. Warren's wise counsel on both Boards and we will continue to thank him for his contributions. He has been appointed as an Advisory Director of the Company.
 
Mr. Warren's position on the Audit Committee will be filled by James Mason, a current Director of both the Company and the Bank.
