About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet afternoon at OCCU when a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, everyone noticed something strange—there seemed to be a faint glow coming from inside. The teller cautiously opened the box, revealing dozens of tiny LED lights arranged in intricate patterns. Turns out, it was just a creative way for a neighbor to thank everyone for their recent community service project. The glow turned out to be a personalized light-up sign saying ‘Thank you, OCCU!’ Everyone laughed and took pictures, thinking it was one of those quirky Oregon surprises.
2. A regular was counting his change as he waited in line. Suddenly, the teller asked him if he’d seen any strange coins lately. The man thought for a moment and replied, ‘No, I haven’t seen anything unusual.’ The teller then leaned closer and whispered, ‘Have you checked your pocket change today?’ They both burst out laughing as they realized it was just another day at the credit union.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the OCCU parking lot one morning, only to notice something peculiar on his way out. In the backseat of his truck sat an old, dusty guitar case, clearly not his own. The delivery driver shrugged and decided to take it into the branch office. Inside, a friendly teller asked if he’d found some lost treasure. With a smile, she said, ‘That’s our president’s guitar—she always leaves it in odd places.’ The driver laughed, thinking, ‘At least now I know where to look when I lose mine!’
4. One day, while walking past OCCU, an elderly gentleman stopped and asked aloud, ‘Do you think they count our money by moonlight?’ A young delivery driver overheard him and laughed, replying, ‘I don’t know, sir, but I bet it’s faster than waiting in line here!’ The old man smiled wisely and said, ‘Ah, well, maybe that’s why they never close early.’
