Anyone who has stood in line at the Kirkland post office knows how long those lines are and can be. So why is the city of Kirkland closing the Totem Lake post office [the Trading Post] at the Totem Lake Mall?

This is outrageous and anyone who hates standing in that long line will now be disappointed to know that the line will be getting longer. What can the city of Kirkland be thinking?

If you would like the Totem Lake post office to remain open, let the city of Kirkland know. Write a letter, visit City Hall, make phone calls.

Complain, complain, complain.

I understand there is a prohibitive cost to keeping the Totem Lake post office open. Honestly, it can’t be that much and it would be worth every penny to the city of Kirkland and its citizens to have this service maintained. Now that the Totem Lake area has been annexed, surely the extra taxes we pay would cover this cost.

Please save our Totem Lake post office.
