BECU passing out $1 bills today & tomorrow

Don’t forget, BECU is going to be giving away $2,000 in $1 bills both today and tomorrow in Queen Anne as part of their new grand opening promotion. At 10:30 a.m. today, representatives will be walking around Lower Queen Anne, between the new branch at 29 W Mercer St and Metropolitan Market, handing out cold hard cash until they run out. Tomorrow, Saturday, February 6, they’ll venture to the top of the hill near the closed-down Blockbuster to hand out another $2,000 in singles starting at 9:30 a.m. Though it’s just a buck per person, $1 can buy a chocolate bar, half a bus ticket, or a fifth of the happy hour specials at many of Queen Anne’s local eateries. Not bad!
