Wildfire Causes Temporary Closure of Dayville, Oregon Post Office

Customers Can Pick Up Mail at Alternate Location

The Rail Ridge wildfire has caused the temporary closure of the Dayville, Oregon Post Office.

All mail and retail service operations for the Dayville Post Office have been temporarily moved to the Mount Vernon Post Office, located at 101 W Main St., Mount Vernon, 97865.

The Mount Vernon Post Office is open for retail operations, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – noon, and 1 p.m. – 4:30 p.m., and closed Saturday and Sunday.

Customers are reminded to bring a proper photo ID in order to make mail and package pickups at the Mount Vernon Post Office.

Retail services, such as temporary mail forwarding — if needed — or stamps, can be found at the Mount Vernon Post Office location. And many services are also available online at usps.com.

We apologize for this inconvenience to our customers and plan to have the Dayville Post Office reopened and fully operational as soon as it is safe to do so.
