HomeStreet Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular arrived early and found an old, dusty violin in the bank’s lobby vending machine. No one claimed it, so he took it home. Months later, during a routine maintenance check, another employee discovered a small stash of vintage coins hidden inside. Finally, after months of curiosity, the bank decided to organize a little concert. The ‘found’ violin turned out to be quite valuable, and the regular played beautifully. Word spread quickly, and soon enough, every Tuesday became ‘Music Night,’ attracting everyone from a delivery driver humming along to a neighbor who brought her homemade cookies. HomeStreet Bank never looked back—it was officially known as the friendliest place around.

2. One day after school, a young girl entered HomeStreet Bank and asked the teller if she could withdraw some money for her piggy bank. The teller smiled warmly but replied that only adults can make transactions here. Suddenly, the little girl reached into her backpack and pulled out a tiny plastic piggy bank with a big smile on its face. The teller laughed gently and said, 'Oh, I see! Well, maybe your parents or guardian can help you.' The little girl nodded enthusiastically, then turned to the smiling piggy bank and whispered, 'Don’t worry, mama pig, we'll come back another time!' And off they went together, arm in arm.

3. A little boy walked into HomeStreet Bank one afternoon with his pet parrot on his shoulder. The bird kept squawking, ‘Mama, I want ice cream!’ until everyone in line started laughing. Finally, an impatient customer behind him said, ‘That’s it, kid—you’re coming with me!’ Turns out, he was just a delivery driver there for some paperwork. Everyone laughed again as they watched the relieved dad carry off his giggling child and chatty parrot.

4. One Tuesday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the HomeStreet Bank drive-thru. As he approached the window, he noticed something odd—a small, mysterious package taped to the inside of his truck's windshield. The delivery driver carefully removed the package and popped it open. Inside was a note that read: 'Happy Holidays from your friendly neighborhood HomeStreet Bank!' And nestled in cotton were two freshly baked cookies. Turns out, someone had mistakenly wrapped them as a security deposit.
