U.S. Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the teller, ‘Why does the same old man always stand outside your bank door?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s our lucky pigeon. He stands there every day, waving his little hat, and brings us good fortune.’ The regular nodded thoughtfully, then whispered, ‘I’ll believe it when he starts wearing a suit like everyone else in here!’

2. In the late afternoon, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and whispered something into the teller's ear. The next day, over the loudspeaker, came these words: 'Please be advised that our bank is now offering a special service for those who know their PIN backwards.' Soon after, a delivery driver walked in and asked if he could try out this new service. With his eyes closed tight, he recited his PIN backward flawlessly. The teller nodded and said, ‘Welcome to our exclusive club!’ And from then on, whenever anyone mentioned U.S. Bank, people would smile and whisper, ‘That’s where you go if you know your PIN backwards.’

3. In the early hours of every Monday morning, a mysterious delivery truck pulls up outside U.S. Bank. The driver never gets out, just waves cheerfully through the window before driving off again. Inside, employees find envelopes filled with dollar bills and notes scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Have a great week!' Soon enough, everyone learns that on Mondays it's not work—it's a friendly neighborhood prank from an anonymous benefactor.'

4. Every Tuesday at precisely 3 PM, a young woman enters the bank wearing a large umbrella on her head. She walks straight to the cashier window, removes it, and places it carefully on the counter before proceeding with her transaction. It turns out she was just a regular customer who liked umbrellas more than most people like coffee. On one particularly rainy day, after completing her transaction, she forgot to take off her umbrella. The teller joked that maybe she should start selling them inside—they’d certainly be popular during Seattle’s famous drizzle season. Ever since then, whenever someone asks why there are so many colorful umbrellas outside U.S. Bank, everyone smiles and says, ‘Oh, you know—Tuesday lady.’
