About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the teller, ‘Do you guys really keep all that cash in those big safes?’ The teller smiled and leaned closer, whispering conspiratorially, 'Of course not! It's all computer-generated these days.' The delivery driver nodded wisely, replying, 'Figures,' then turned around and casually walked out—leaving behind an empty wheelbarrow full of sand.
2. At dawn, when most banks are still locking their doors, an early riser noticed something odd: a small bird had built its nest in one of WaFd Bank’s security cameras. Curious passersby gathered around, snapping photos and laughing. The little bird seemed oblivious to the commotion, diligently guarding its eggs. Eventually, a delivery driver suggested gently removing the camera for the day, allowing the nest to stay intact until the baby birds could fly free. By midday, WaFd Bank was buzzing with the story, and everyone agreed that maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing—after all, who wouldn’t want a bank with its own little feathered security team?
3. At closing time, a WaFd Bank employee overheard someone whispering into an empty safe deposit box. When they opened it the next day, there was only a note that read: 'Your balance is always positive.' Curious, the worker posted the note on social media, asking if anyone else had noticed similar messages. Soon enough, dozens of WaFd Bank customers started sharing their own mysterious notes—all reading ‘Your balance is always positive.’ It turned out to be a prank by a local artist who delivered packages during the night, leaving whimsical messages in random safes as a way to brighten people’s days.
4. At midnight, when most banks are dark and quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to the WaFd Bank's loading dock. As he approached the door, he heard soft laughter coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty desks and filing cabinets. Then, out of nowhere, a friendly voice said, ‘Welcome! Can I help you with something?’ Turned out it was just an overzealous security robot greeting everyone after hours. The delivery driver left, laughing, thinking, ‘Next time I'll bring cookies.’
