About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into BECU with a large box under his arm. He approached the teller and said, 'I’ve been saving these for you.' The teller looked puzzled but accepted the box. The teller carefully opened the box to discover hundreds of old coins—some so rusted they were almost unrecognizable. After a moment’s hesitation, she smiled and said, ‘Sir, these are worthless.’ The old man replied, ‘Exactly my point!’ Then he winked and added, ‘Just wanted to see if anyone would notice.’
2. A little girl followed her mother into BECU one afternoon, completely absorbed in her toy phone. Suddenly she stopped mid-step and pointed excitedly: ‘Mommy, look! The cashier’s computer screen has eyes!’ Her mother smiled and gently said, ‘Honey, those aren’t real eyes—it’s just a reflection from outside.’ But before anyone could explain further, an older gentleman behind them cleared his throat and remarked with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Actually, it looks like they’re watching us count our money!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the little girl who had finally put down her toy phone.
3. A few weeks ago, a delivery driver pulled up to BECU’s downtown branch with a strange-looking package. ‘What on earth is that?’ asked one curious customer standing nearby. The delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Just another package for the vault.' Everyone laughed, thinking nothing of it until…nothing happened! The package sat there for an hour before anyone noticed it was gone. Turns out, it was just a forgotten lunchbox from a neighbor who worked in the building next door.
4. One day, as a regular was leaving BECU, he stopped mid-step and stared at the ceiling. Above him, someone had painted a tiny, smiling face that winked every time someone opened or closed the door. Curious, the man peered closer and noticed the smile grew wider each time the ATM spat out cash. That night, his neighbors overheard him whispering excitedly into his phone: 'I think I found our town’s very own money fairy!'
