About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the State Employees Credit Union and asked the teller, ‘Do you accept these new coins they’re making in Washington?’ The teller smiled and said, 'Of course we do!' She picked up one of the shiny new coins and added with a twinkle in her eye, 'They even look like our members' hard work!' The delivery driver laughed heartily and walked away, thinking he’d just made someone’s day.

2. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, an old man walked into the State Employees Credit Union with a basket full of freshly baked bread. As he approached the counter, the teller smiled warmly and asked if he needed help. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, 'I just came to make a deposit—bread for the soul, you might say.' The teller laughed heartily and took the basket, commenting that it smelled like heaven. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the State Employees Credit Union, they’d whisper, ‘That’s where the morning bread fairy deposits his dough.’

3. One day after work, a regular stopped by the State Employees Credit Union to deposit his paycheck. As he approached the ATM, he noticed something odd: every time he inserted his card, the machine played a snippet of his favorite childhood song. Curious, he checked if anyone else was around, but the place was empty. When he finally got home and told his wife, she laughed and revealed that their six-year-old son had programmed the ATM as a surprise. The next morning, the whole neighborhood gathered to watch him withdraw money to ‘test’ the song again.

4. At closing time, a security guard noticed something unusual. ‘Who left their lucky coin here today?’ he asked aloud, glancing around the nearly empty lobby of the State Employees Credit Union. A delivery driver, zipping in just before the door locked, grinned sheepishly and said, 'It’s my secret charm that always brings good luck!' The guard laughed and waved him through, muttering under his breath, 'Next time you’re late, it might not be so lucky.'
