Scope and content
A large one-layer cake cleverly mimics a National Bank of Washington check as the opening of a new branch located in Lakewood's Villa Plaza Shopping Center was celebrated on July 13, 1957. The "check" was signed by manager Marc H. Miller, CPS graduate and native Tacoman. Bank officials welcomed customers to an open house on July 13th as the bank had moved from temporary trailer quarters to its new banking office. The National Bank of Washington's Villa Plaza office was located in the north wing of the giant shopping center. It was one of eight Tacoma area offices out of 22 in the state.
