The Dalles, Ore., July 12, 2024 — Movement is afoot on the construction of a new Washington Federal Bank on West Sixth Street as the contractor has moved in and fenced the property before demolition.

The bank , better known as WaFd Bank, has purchased the former car dealership building and property on West Sixth Street in The Dalles and intends to build a brand new 2,300 square-foot bank on the site, according to city planning documents and Wasco County records.

Michael Wannick submitted the application for the single-story bank with a drive-through and parking at 1014 W. Sixth Street, across the street from the Barbecue Restaurant in November 2023.

The lot gives room to spread out - the .32 acre lot leaves considerable space for parking and a drive-through.

The new bank would sit across the street from First Interstate Bank.

Prior to the application, Decka Enterprises, Inc. of Gresham Oregon, a rental property business, sold the .32 acre property with the single building with a Wasco County real market value of $213,610 for $600,000 to WaFd, according to a statutory deed submitted July 14, 2023.
