Dawson completed a full tenant buildout and expansion for Umpqua Bank in Bellingham, transforming the space into a modern banking environment inspired by world-class retailers and designed to put the customer front and center. The scope included offices with individual HVAC controls, added restrooms, a storefront, a wheelchair lift, a bank teller line, a vault, an ATM, and a nighttime cash drop.
The commercial project emphasized customer experience through retail design principles such as open floor plans, natural light, and inviting finishes, reflecting Umpqua's reputation for community-focused banking that feels more like a neighborhood store than a financial institution. The result is a branch where customers feel comfortable lingering rather than rushing through transactions, a space that works as both a bank and a neighborhood hub.
From emergency repairs to ground-up builds, Dawson teams deliver across Southeast Alaska and Northwest Washington.
