Our North City Post Office is Moving

At the end of December our North City branch of the post office is moving from its building at 15th Ave NE and NE 175th. Despite other USPS offices being closer to Pinehurst, the North City office is where we pick up packages and have our mail held if we go on vacation. The last day of service is anticipated to be December 29th.

USPS lost the North City location when the new owner of the land put it up for sale. The federal government owned the building but only had a lease on the land. The lease was renegotiated several times, but the new buyer invoked a clause to end the current lease so they could begin construction of an apartment building on the site.

USPS had leased a temporary space at Gateway Plaza in Shoreline, 18336 Aurora Ave N, Ste 105. Gateway Plaza is located on the east side of Aurora Ave N at NE 185th and contains Bartells, BECU, and several restaurants.

Midvale Ave N runs through the middle of the Plaza. There are access points to Midvale from N 185th, from N 175th in front of Shorelinc City Hall and from several points on Aurora.

The post office will be in a large space at the inside corner of the main building, next to Toni and Guy hair salon and cosmetology school.

The new space is intended as a temporary location while USPS continues to actively search for a long term solution as close as possible to the current North City location.
