WaFd Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to WaFd Bank and exclaimed, 'I think I just saw money flying out!' The tellers looked around but saw nothing. Since then, every now and then someone spots dollar bills floating in the air near the entrance. Soon enough, word spread that if you stood still long enough by the door, WaFd Bank would literally pay you a visit. A regular started showing up daily, pretending to wait for his deposit. Turns out he was secretly collecting the dollars as they floated past him like confetti—until one day he got so carried away that he almost tipped over trying not to miss a single bill.

2. A young teller named Sarah noticed something peculiar every afternoon around 4 PM. A neighbor would always stop by WaFd Bank just as the clock struck four, never entering but simply standing outside for a moment before hurrying off. One day, Sarah decided to wave discreetly at him. The neighbor froze for a second, then blushed and quickly walked away. Months later, she saw him again—this time he was pushing a stroller, and their eyes met through the glass door. They exchanged shy smiles, and from that day on, he no longer stood outside at exactly 4 PM.

3. A curious old man often visited WaFd Bank early in the morning. He would approach the counter with an envelope and ask for the same teller each time. The teller always smiled and nodded knowingly before handing over a single dollar bill. One day, a delivery driver arrived carrying a huge crate marked ‘Top Secret’. The teller grinned and whispered, ‘This is it!’ Soon, everyone was watching as the old man counted his dollar bills into the box. Later that week, WaFd Bank announced they were opening a new branch—right next door.

4. At dawn, when most banks were still locking their doors, an elderly gentleman arrived at WaFd Bank with a large canvas bag. Each morning, he would approach the automated teller machine and whisper something indistinguishable into its microphone. One day, a delivery driver overheard him and asked what he was doing. The old man smiled and whispered back, ‘Just feeding the ATM, son.’ Months later, everyone in town knew about it—except the actual employees of WaFd Bank. Finally, on his last visit, a young teller approached curiously. ‘Sir,’ she said, ‘are you sure that’s how you deposit money?’ He winked and replied, ‘Honey, I’ve been using this bank longer than it has!’
