Washington Mutual, Arvada, CO I used to bank at this location at the King Soopers shopping mall on 80th, and I grew quite fond of it. It was my first. There were Gameboys set up in the corner and always free coffee -though I always opted for the water- and cookies.  Then, as we all know, shit hit the economy’s fan and wamu was an unfortunate victim. One afternoon, I received a call asking me to answer a series of questions relating to this location’s performance and my overall satisfaction. I proceeded to speak with the gentleman for half an hour about how great the location is, giving only the highest marks of praise. You see, I was aware that this phone call held a higher significance than mere customer satisfaction — they were trying to decide which locations to keep around and which to dispose of. Unfortunately, my efforts proved to be futile. Yet they still light the sign. Well, at least “hington.”
