About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to NorthWest Plus Credit Union and asked the guard, ‘Why is there always a line of ants marching across your entrance?’ The guard scratched his head, puzzled. 'I don't know,' he replied with a smile, 'but every time they cross the threshold, our customers suddenly start smiling.' The delivery driver laughed and said, 'Guess those ants are better tellers than any human could be!'

2. One foggy morning, as customers were hurrying inside NorthWest Plus Credit Union, someone noticed an old umbrella left outside. No one claimed it, but every day after that, a different coin would mysteriously appear in its handle. Finally, one day a delivery driver picked up the umbrella and found a shiny quarter. Smiling, he thought, ‘What luck!’ But when he tried to use it, it was stuck fast—glued to the handle! Turns out, some clever member had been leaving not just coins, but also little notes reading, ‘Coin attached. Please return.’

3. One autumn afternoon, as leaves rustled outside NorthWest Plus Credit Union, a familiar voice called out from within: ‘Excuse me, do you accept deposits in jars of jam?’ Inside, everyone burst into laughter—even the teller, who replied with a smile, 'We only take digital deposits here!' The old lady beamed and said proudly, 'Well, I’ll just keep my jar for myself then.' And so, another curious tale ended with a friendly nod between a regular customer and her neighborhood credit union.

4. One day, after closing hours, an employee found a strange package in the credit union’s mailroom. Curious but cautious, they opened it only to discover… nothing but an old note reading: ‘Deposit me if you dare!’ Intrigued and slightly amused, the employee decided to follow the note's mysterious instruction. They deposited the empty envelope into the vault, just for fun. The next morning, everyone arrived to find their accounts mysteriously credited with a small sum—enough for a coffee or two. Since then, NorthWest Plus has been known as the place where even empty envelopes get rewarded.
