Everett mail processing facility to close, 97 jobs lost




Nearly 100 people working at an Everett mail processing facility will lose their jobs later this year, the U.S. Postal Service announced this morning. Also lost will be next-day delivery of first-class mail sent in Western Washington.

The Postal Service is moving all its mail processing operations from Everett to Seattle sometime after May 15. A specific date for the closure hasn't been set.

The facility in Everett processes 1 million outgoing letters and parcels daily and serves everyone from Lynnwood north to the Canadian border.
