About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to HomeStreet Bank's parking lot and noticed something odd in one of the empty baskets on the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up—it was an old, dusty harmonica wrapped in an ancient newspaper from the 1950s. Intrigued, he blew into the instrument—only for a soft, nostalgic tune to fill the air. Turned out, it played 'Happy Birthday' perfectly! Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone stopped by HomeStreet Bank just to hear the mysterious harmonica player. It became a daily ritual until one day, a neighbor recognized the music as his grandfather’s long-lost souvenir.

2. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into HomeStreet Bank’s lobby, holding a large cardboard box under each arm. The teller smiled warmly as he approached, but something seemed odd—each box had ‘Free Checks’ written on it in bold marker. As the old man placed one box on the counter, the teller asked curiously, 'Sir, are you opening a new account?' With a twinkle in his eye, the gentleman replied, 'No, ma'am, just cashing these checks!' Turns out, every check was for $1.00 signed by himself and endorsed with 'Happy Banking!' The whole town laughed, and HomeStreet Bank became known for its friendly prankster customer.

3. One day, while customers were lining up outside HomeStreet Bank, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone! We’ve just received word that today is National Hug Day. Please feel free to hug any staff member you encounter.’ A delivery driver walked in, confused but smiling. He asked if he could hug the security guard too—after all, he delivered packages here every day. The staff laughed and obliged, turning what was supposed to be a serious banking experience into an impromptu hug-fest. By the end of the day, everyone left HomeStreet Bank feeling warm and fuzzy, even if their clothes smelled like perfume and pizza.

4. One afternoon, as a HomeStreet Bank teller was counting cash, she heard a strange humming noise coming from one of the ATMs. Curious, she approached it—only to see tiny birds flying out in a flurry. As she watched, the little winged creatures fluttered around the lobby, causing quite a stir among customers. A delivery driver even stopped mid-step and asked if everything was okay. With a smile, the teller explained that the ATM must have been full of birdseed instead of bills. By closing time, the birds had found their way outside, and everyone left with a laugh—and a free show.
