Letter to Ken Lieu, at the Western Facilities Service Office of the U.S. Postal Service:<\/p>\n
Dear Mr. Lieu,<\/p>\n
Number one, I am thinking about the seniors in the community.<\/p>\n
We often utilize the downtown station for money orders and stamps. The station is used for the mailing of packages, also the mailing of Christmas packages.<\/p>\n
Concerning P.O. boxes: many depend on these.<\/p>\n
Kent is becoming a very busy area. Such as ShoWare events center, Kent Station, shoppers, car-parking lots, bus depot, a soon-to-be hotel; and there is a Green River College campus with additional buildings and stores to come.<\/p>\n
Also, let us not forget the library and senior housing nearby. Where are the seniors going to go for their convenience?<\/p>\n
Metro senior shuttle leaves them close by the post office – this all equals people passing through the area.<\/p>\n
Perhaps there is a need to advertise more, and more frequently, through the postal clients listed in the area.<\/p>\n
Also, the downtown station is very convenient for others who work in the area at lunch to pick up, or mail, their needs, including the criminal-justice building, and including the lawyers\u2019 day-to-day mailings.<\/p>\n
Lastly, not excluding the East Hill businesses who depend at times for picking up parcels and packages.<\/p>\n
I realize your mind set is in real estate, and perhaps the selling of the building, but again the people of the community need a centrally located area for Kent, 98032.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
