Located at 200 Westlake Avenue N., the store
integrates technology and design to create a compelling and inviting space for
customers and the community. Umpqua’s SLU location includes elements from the
company’s recently opened San Francisco flagship, which won the Retail Design
Institute’s 2013 Store of the Year Award.
Store features include an interactive digital
wall showcasing products and services, open spaces for browsing, reading and
recharging digital devices, and private conference rooms available to the
community and businesses.
As part of the store‘s opening, Umpqua
commissioned interaction design studio Daily Tous Les Jours to transform its
storefront into a Conversation Wall - an interactive installation to engage
with South Lake Union's community directly on the street. Passersby can text
conversation topics they care about and Umpqua will curate a series of events
in response to community interest. Events will be posted at www.umpquabank.com/SLU.
The Conversation Wall will be up through May 31st.
The store also features Umpqua’s Local
Spotlight program, a rotating retail display featuring local companies that
share Umpqua’s passion for innovation. On display this spring are products from
three Seattle technology start-ups – Poppy, Touchfire, and Micro Phone Lens.
Their products are available for trial and purchase, and visitors can nominate
other forward-thinking businesses they’d like to see in the spotlight.
