Almost perfect once they fix the west, 5th Ave, (2nd floor entrance, no ♿ ramp) glass canopy to not drip/leak on folx as we exit/enter.

Very Nice & Modern building. Tallest building in Oregon.

Quick in and out experience: I handed them my papers, and they assisted me, and I left the place within a few minutes. The same occurred when I went there to pick up my visa.

It's ok. When I went to open my new account I set an appointment calling the phone number that was listed next to their address which ended up being the location down by pioneer square and instead of just letting me see a banker there they made me walk all the way down to pioneer square in the pouring rain which they should have just been able to help me there they weren't busy at all the staff on the other hand is very nice and very helpful and so is the management just not very accommodating. Also one day when I went there they told me they close early due to riots and there hadn't been riots in downtown and months at that time.

Manager seemed super chill and dope 10/10 would recommend. Helped me open a fantastic new account I’m so excited, I will never bank anywhere else. If you want good service it’s definitely worth the trip

Pretty cool tallest building. There are about two million or more electric sockets installed in there (my random guess since I work with electricity).

We just received new cards and the way you set them up was so easy, but a little cautious of if the scanner does not work properly send you to a wrong place. Putting in info very easy. Thank you for coming to the 21st century.

One of the best suites we’ve ever had. 31st floor is amazing! Great staff and security. Highly recommended.

Nice building with friendly and helpful front desk people. The elevators are a bit different - you don't select your level in the elevator, there is no such buttons to push there, instead, you use designated elevators for different levels and select your level as you wait for the elevator to arrive at your waiting place and take you to where you need to go straight. I thought that was a cool feature.

I was surprised that this 1972 building is the tallest in Portland, I had always thought that the US Bank Tower was (in my defense US Bank Tower has more floors). Don't miss the main floor, besides the bank branch it also houses a nice museum about Wells Fargo. Back by the elevators is an official Mini-Portlandia's. In 1980 it became the First Interstate Bank Tower then in 1996 it took its current name. Fun Fact- it is likely to stay Portland's tallest building. People got upset about it blocking views so Portland capped building heights.

I feel weird for reviewing a skyscraper, but this building amplifies "brutalist" architecture in a way that screams unique. This is not everyone's favorite building, as at one point due to its' height, caused a public outcry for the potential of other towers blocking views of the city and the mountains. Nonetheless, this is currently Oregon's tallest building standing proudly at 546 feet. A common misconception is that the U.S. Bancorp Tower (Big Pink) is the tallest building in Oregon even though it is 10 feet shorter than the Wells Fargo Center. It was built in 1972, which was a time period where buildings were built for their purpose and not their appearance. The outside is draped with marble and columns of dark windows. This gives it a "zebra-like" appearance with visibility from north, south, and east of Downtown Portland. There is also a small plaza located in the lower portions of the building containing a few shops and restaurants. Off of the top of my head, I know that there is a convenience store and a deli. When you walk in the front doors off of SW 5th Avenue, you are introduced to a display of Wells Fargo history. It is a small, yet tasteful museum. Moving inward, there are two elevator banks. One of which takes you to the lower floors of the tower and the other takes you to the higher floors of the tower. The elevators are extremely modern as you must select which floor you are going to on an electronic board. A few months ago, I actually had the privilege to come here for an interview. Now, I might be a little bit biased as I am a sucker for beautiful views, but once I reached my designated floor, I was taken aback by the views of east side. I was able to see the entirety of Portland's east side as well as the various hills and mountains. Mt. Hood caught my eye as it was a beautiful, cloudless day. I recommend coming to this building if you ever have the chance!

I visited this building for the first time this afternoon for an interview and was very impressed. It is the tallest building in Portland and the views from the top are spectacular. The entire building has a very sleek and sophisticated style to it (a lot of glass and granite). The lobby is what impressed me the most: it's a museum detailing artifacts and other items related to the history of Portland and Oregon.
