Small rural city post offices that are close together should be allowed to contract a local courier for faster mail delivery
Sometimes the moron bureaucrats in Washington, DC do not understand that most of America lives in small town rural America. Instead having mail go from point A to B if the process is local. Here is an Alaskan example. If you are mailing a letter from Palmer to Wasilla why should you have wait three days to get that letter instead the Palmer and Wasilla post office could call a courier service to deliver those letter to each other. Have the local post office put a stamp on it. Every post has one unless in a big city like Spokane, Seattle and Anchorage. Snoqualmie Valley the Western Washington example. If you were to mail a letter from North Bend to Carnation a mail courier would be much faster to truck that letter to some mail processing facility this will speed up mail delivery. Central Washington mail delivery example if you were to mail a letter from Cle Elum to South Cle Elum which is just across the Yakima River why would not a local courier service. Here is an interesting argument why do we even have a post office in South Cle Elum since most residents come into Cle Elum to do shopping anyway but then if you use that argument. Cle Elum would be the only city with a post office since everybody in the Upper Kittitas County comes into Cle Elum to shop since Roslyn has not had a supermarket or place where people save lots on groceries for probably more than 30 years and since Safeway is the only major grocery hopefully one day that will to give the Upper Kittitas County some competition which the Snoqualmie Valley has benefited from competition.
Pasco facility should remain open in Eastern Washington to have mail in Central Washington and Northern Oregon move faster
Recently the United States Postal Service chose to close three small postal facilities in Central Washington. I understand this is to save money. However to keep mail moving faster in Central Washington and Northern Oregon please keep the Pasco facility open. This facility could process any overflow. I understand why the Spokane facility was chosen due to fact in the winter if the Seattle facility was chosen. Central Washington may go days without mail service depending on pass closures. That was smart now we have another issue that the quickness of delivery to Central Washington. By reducing the staff at the Pasco facility this will allow the flow of mail to Central Washington residents to be faster. This could also be an overflow facility since the Spokane facility can process mail very fast. I remember get a mail in only a day within town however Central Washington residents to do deliver from point A to B unless within region such as if you are mailing from Ronald to South Cle Elum hopefully will just be done by courier instead of having that mail go to Spokane to be processed then head to mail a letter in a local area. Leaving the Pasco facility open would make it so mail would flow faster in case the Spokane facility gets a backlog. This would also keep jobs in Tri Cities area. Please keep Pasco facility open. The bad news is that North Central Washington with the Wenatchee area closing in order to save the United States Postal Services money would need to understand that in Chelan, Douglas, Okanogan counties mail will need to take longer. Good news since Moses Lake is just a straight shot on Interstate 90 they will get mail faster then from the Wenatchee facility since trucks will not need travel to Moses Lake using State Route 28. Please call Congressman Hastings and ask that the Pasco facility remain open even at a reduced capacity to ensure faster delivery within Central Washington and Northern Oregon.
