Pacific Cascade Federal Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the credit union’s parking lot and noticed something unusual in one of the empty spaces. A small, old-fashioned tin can with a handwritten note read: ‘Take what you need.’ Inside were freshly baked cookies, still warm from the oven. The next day, another cookie appeared—this time, a note said, 'Enjoy, and please leave some change for our secret fund!' Soon enough, the whole neighborhood was leaving tips and taking turns baking treats. It became known as the Pacific Cascade Mystery Kitchen Club.

2. One day, after closing hours, an employee heard strange noises coming from the basement. Curious, she approached the door—only to see a small dog peering curiously through the window, its tail wagging as if it had found the most fascinating place in town. She opened the door wider, and the little fellow bounded inside, his paws leaving tiny prints on the marble floor. Turns out, Pacific Cascade’s basement was just a cozy spot for a neighborhood stray to hang out. Since then, every evening around sunset, a regular would bring him some treats.

3. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the credit union’s loading dock with a standard box of supplies. As he unloaded, he noticed something peculiar—a small, handwritten note attached to the package read: ‘For the most secure place in town.’ Curious, the delivery driver opened the box and found only a single, old key inside. He shrugged it off as someone's mistake until his neighbor casually mentioned that yes, indeed, there was an old safe hidden behind the boiler room wall. The next day, everyone in town knew about the secret stash—full of nothing but expired coupons and old newspapers.

4. A few years ago, on a quiet Sunday afternoon, a neighbor decided to take a shortcut through the credit union's empty parking lot. As he cut across, his foot slipped on some wet leaves, and before anyone knew it, he found himself face-to-face with a security guard’s friendly dog. The two ended up playing fetch for the next twenty minutes until someone finally noticed the commotion and asked what all the fuss was about.
