Stehekin, Washington Post Office Resumes Normal Operations on Friday

The Stehekin, Washington Post Office will reopen on Friday, Aug. 23 after the Pioneer Fire prompted evacuations in late July.

The mail, which is being temporarily housed at the Chelan, Washington Post Office, will be moved back to the Stehekin office within the next few days. However, PCT hikers must continue to collect their items in Chelan.

The Stehekin postmaster will continue to distribute mail for residents at the main boat dock until Friday, Aug. 23, when normal Post Office hours will resume.  

Operating hours for the Stehekin office are Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., and Saturday 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.

The Chelan Post Office is open Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. Customers are reminded to bring a proper photo ID in order to make mail and package pickups at the Chelan Post Office.

The Postal Service thanks its customers for their patience during the disruption.

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.
