About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A little girl walked into WaFd Bank one morning and asked the teller for help with her piggybank. The teller smiled warmly but noticed something peculiar—every time she counted the coins, they kept changing places in the air above the counter. Curious, the teller called over another colleague who shook his head, saying, ‘It’s just those pesky pennies playing tricks on us.’ They laughed it off, and the little girl left happily with her shiny new dollar bill. From then on, WaFd Bank became known as the place where even pennies had a sense of humor.
2. One day, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes in front of WaFd Bank, he noticed something peculiar on the loading dock: a small sign that read ‘Deposit your dreams here.’ No one seemed to pay it any mind until customers started leaving notes instead of cash. Soon enough, people from all over town were dropping off their wildest wishes—love letters, career goals, even grocery lists. The manager thought it was just another quirky customer habit until one day, a regular came in with an envelope marked 'Please deposit my dream here.' Inside was a twenty-dollar bill and a note saying, 'Dreams come true when you pay for them!'
3. A delivery driver was making his rounds when he noticed something peculiar outside WaFd Bank. On the loading dock, amidst the usual boxes and crates, lay an old, dusty suitcase. Curious, he picked it up and opened the rusted latch. Inside were stacks of old, yellowing dollar bills—each one worth exactly $1. Turns out, it was just an elaborate prank from a neighbor who wanted to see if anyone would fall for it. The delivery driver laughed it off, shook his head, and went on his way, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll check twice before counting cash.’
4. A regular stopped by WaFd Bank one afternoon and asked the teller, ‘Do you accept checks from the future?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'We only accept checks from the past, sir.' A delivery driver overheard and chimed in, 'Actually, I just tried depositing a check from next week—' Everyone burst out laughing as the neighbor walked up, shaking his head and muttering, 'These guys are always getting into trouble.'
