About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on BECU’s security camera feed. A regular customer, always seen in a hurry, was casually walking backwards towards the ATM, muttering something under his breath. The next day, everyone arrived early for their daily transactions—curious to see if he’d do it again. On the third day, the man walked backward into an empty box of deposit slips and tripped, sending everyone into fits of giggles. From then on, whenever someone went to BECU, they looked out for ‘the backwalker,’ who became a neighborhood legend for his unique banking style.
2. A few years ago, a curious neighbor asked the tellers at BECU if they’d ever seen a customer withdraw exactly $6.18 every Thursday. The tellers shrugged it off as just another quirky habit until one day, someone actually did it. It turned out that a delivery driver, known for his love of collecting vintage coins, was making these weekly withdrawals. He explained he needed exact change to buy rare silver dollars from an old coin collector down the street. Needless to say, everyone at BECU now looks forward to Thursdays with a smile—who doesn’t like a good mystery, especially when it ends in coins and laughter?
3. At dawn one day, a lone jogger passing by BECU noticed something odd: the bank’s doors were ajar, but there wasn’t a single person inside. Curious, they peered inside and saw only empty desks and silent computers. Suddenly, from behind them came a sleepy voice: ‘Morning! Did you want to open an account or apply for a mortgage?’ Turned out it was just the night security guard taking his morning coffee break.
4. At closing time, an exhausted teller locked up BECU and headed home. The next morning, she found a mysterious package in the lobby. Curious, she opened it—and inside was a note reading: ‘Your first customer of the day is always lucky.’ She smiled, realizing that maybe her first customer wasn’t just any person—maybe it was fate’s way of saying thanks for her hard work. From then on, whenever she arrived early or stayed late, she’d leave a small surprise for her first visitor: a handwritten note, a fresh flower, or even a warm cookie from her favorite bakery down the street. And everyone who walked through those doors started their day with a little extra cheer.
