Walla Walla, Washington Post Office Reopens to Customers After Gas Leak Impacted Operations

The Walla Walla Post Office located at 128 N 2nd Ave. is anticipated to reopen to all customers early next week.

Because Monday, Oct. 9 is a federal holiday, the office will reopen for business on Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 8 a.m.

The office has been closed since Sept. 20 due to a gas leak detected in the area.

The Walla Walla Post Office is open for retail operations Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Post Office box access is available seven days a week, 6 a.m. – 10 p.m.

Customer and employee safety is the top priority of the Postal Service. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank our customers for their patience and understanding during the closure.

The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to 169 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is implementing a 10-year transformation plan, Delivering for America, to modernize the postal network, restore long-term financial sustainability, dramatically improve service across all mail and shipping categories, and maintain the organization as one of America’s most valued and trusted brands.

The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
