Letter to the Editor: Post Office central location will better serve residents and businesses

To the Editor:

The unexpected closure of the North City Post Office is jolting to those of us who live on or close to the 15th Ave NE arterial, since it provides easy access to this mail station from the south NE 145th border of Shoreline to its north border at NE 205th for both residents and businesses.

However, with the closure many years ago of the Richmond Beach Post Office substation, the current location of the North City PO is inconvenient for those living west of Aurora Ave. Since this PO must serve everyone in Shoreline, moving the location of this PO to better serve all businesses and residents in our city is advisable.

The temporary move to Gateway Plaza means easier access from almost every neighborhood in the city, north to south, and east to west, and especially to Aurora Ave. businesses. A permanent move to a location that also serves all of us in Shoreline is a preferable solution.

So while we who now live close to the current PO location will lose some convenience, the move will hopefully be of benefit for all of Shoreline.
