About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Umpqua Bank and noticed an odd note taped to the door. It read: ‘Today’s special: deposit your worries for a free cookie.’ He laughed but decided to give it a try. He opened the door and found a smiling teller holding out a freshly baked cookie. Inside, everyone was happily making deposits—some even took their time writing down fictional concerns like 'fear of forgetting where I parked' or 'worries about tomorrow's weather.' The delivery driver left with his usual smile, feeling lighter than when he arrived, and that day became known around town as the ‘Cookie Deposit Frenzy.’
2. A curious neighbor stopped by Umpqua Bank one afternoon, noticing something peculiar about the security camera's angle. It seemed to follow him everywhere he went inside the building. Curious, he decided to wave and smile at it. To his surprise, the camera waved back! Turned out it was just a reflection from a passing delivery driver’s hat. The neighbor left, shaking his head with a warm smile—another urban legend debunked, but with a friendly twist.
3. A little girl walked into Umpqua Bank with her piggybank in hand. As she approached the counter, the teller asked curiously, ‘What’s that noise?’ The little girl smiled and said, 'It's my piggybank talking!' The teller laughed and took out a coin from the piggybank, revealing a tiny speaker inside. It turned out to be one of those educational toys teaching kids about money. A regular customer passing by exclaimed, 'Oh, I remember when my grandkids used to bring their noisy piggybanks here!' And everyone had a good laugh.
4. A small dog trotted into Umpqua Bank one day, sniffing curiously around the lobby. Employees watched amusedly as it approached the teller counter, then suddenly sat down and began wagging its tail expectantly. Finally, a delivery driver arrived, looked at the little dog with a smile and said, ‘Hey, buddy, you must be waiting for your paycheck!’ The dog wagged even harder, clearly pleased. Everyone in the bank burst out laughing, and from that day on, whenever anyone mentioned Umpqua Bank, they’d recall not just the friendly staff but also the curious canine customer.
