3/24/13. One Saturday afternoon 2:30 pm a lady was pounding on the closed window of the Post Office.

"I know they were open until noon. I just got back from Afghanistan. I have to leave for Los Angeles tonight. I want my mail!"

She called the Lakewood Post Office. They came to Steilacoom and delivered her mail to her.
