About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to WaFd Bank one morning and asked the guard, ‘Is it true that if you deposit enough money here, they’ll give you unlimited free doughnuts?’ The guard laughed heartily and replied, ‘Only if you bring in enough customers for us!’ The delivery driver left, shaking his head with a smile, realizing he’d been had—again. Back at work, he told his colleagues, ‘I guess I’ll just keep delivering doughnuts to WaFd Bank instead.’

2. A neighbor stopped by WaFd Bank one afternoon to deposit some money. As he approached the counter, he noticed an old coin lying on the floor. Picking it up, he recognized it as a rare mint from his childhood collection. ‘Excuse me,’ said the teller, ‘but that’s not just any old coin—it’s our new security token!’ The neighbor laughed and handed over his deposit slip. Later that night, while sorting through his coins again, he found another mysterious note reading: “Welcome to WaFd Bank—your lucky day!”

3. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, an early bird arrived at WaFd Bank with a peculiar request. "I’d like to withdraw exactly as many dollars as there are minutes until sunrise," she said, her voice trembling slightly. The teller, puzzled but amused, nodded and began counting down the minutes. Just as the first rays of sunlight touched the sky, she handed over a crisp envelope filled with bills. The woman smiled shyly and whispered, ‘Thank you—this will cover my morning coffee.’ As she left, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘What did you get for five minutes?’

4. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, an early bird arrived at WaFd Bank. To their surprise, the parking lot was filled with dozens of colorful umbrellas. Curious, they approached one umbrella, only to hear a sleepy voice say, ‘Good morning! Thought you might need some shade while waiting.’ Turned out it was just the night watchman, dozing under his own umbrella. The regulars started coming in, each finding their personalized umbrella—one even had a note from the manager saying, ‘Welcome back, Mr. Delivery Driver!’ It became a quirky tradition until someone finally asked why there were so many umbrellas in a desert town. The answer? Simple—they were for the occasional rain that never came.
