First of all there's a super nice guy, he is an older man with a longer white beard and he is AWESOME. He deserves the biggest raise. I often drop off depop orders and even with only a QR code it is such a smooth and easy experience I would never choose another post office. Five stars read more

I'm disappointed that this location is closed from 12:30-1:30PM instead of having more than one employee on staff and staggering their lunch hours. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when do most people have time to drop things at the post office during the work day? THE LUNCH HOUR. Closing during that time is worst decision. read more

I love this location because it's near the office and it's not very busy the times that I visit. On most visits, I may encounter one or two people in line (if any), but I'm not waiting long for service - even if there is one clerk manning the station. This branch is easy to overlook because it isn't right on the street and there isn't much in the way of signage to indicate its location. Just enter the (old) Federal Building, take a right and walk down the hall. You don't have to go through the security checkpoint! read more

This USPS is inside the federal building and convenient when I'm working downtown. The cashier was great and knew what he was doing. read more

This is more like a post office outpost rather than a full post office. Like most post offices, it's slow and inefficient. Unlike most post offices, it closes during lunch and it does not have a shipping machine so you need to wait for the one employee. Like most post offices, avoid if possible. read more

Hmm post office, what's to say. The mail things and said things almost always get there. I come here frequently mailing certified letters for work, this is a nice quiet semi-secret location in the Federal Building. I'm not sure why people knock on this post office. It's a post office, the line isn't too bad unless their is someone asking 10,000 questions or you're sending a dozen packages the week before Christmas. The employees here are pretty friendly. read more

US Post Office - Post Offices Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Argh. Their hours are infuriating. 10 AM to 1:30 PM, 2:15 PM - 4 PM. They had 1 window open (maybe that's how it usually is). I spent 30 minutes waiting in line. The clerk even stepped away for 5-10 minutes in full sight of her line, putting boxes here and there, sorting mail that was just dropped off by another postal person, opening the back door for another. Then she gets back in line and absentmindedly announces to anyone who cares "Just so you know, I am closing at 1:30 until 2:15". She didn't really look at anyone, so you might have thought that she was talking to herself. It's 1:15 and the guy in front of me has 7 packages, all with shipping confirmation, insurance, etc. Tick, tock. I watch my lunch hour slip by, in danger of not getting to the front. I might still have an ulcer. read more

okay, I'm not a big fan of post offices (or DMVs) so a 3 star review is pretty much as good as it will ever get. This location is tucked away in a federal building so you could walk by and not see it. Because of this, it's less busy than most. There are usually 1 of 2 women working there. Both have a good sense of humor and are delightfully sarcastic. I kind of love it. Anyway, a post office is a post office but I don't dread coming to this one as much as others. I imagine their services are more limited than a bigger location but have never had any trouble with mailing things, etc. read more

Lady with a good sense of humor runs this office with occasional help from a few other friendly staffers. Hours are now until 5Pm, which is nice. It's great having a personal experience when you need to send something from downtown read more

Secret post office! Great place to get stamps on the go.

I have been pretty happy with this location since finding out about it, tucked away inside the Federal Building. I used to go to the 3rd and Union location and that place is beyond dysfunctional and always involves a lengthy wait in line. This location has a down time for lunch, so be aware about that, but the lines are rarely long unless someone has a million items with customs forms or something like that. The woman who works there is personable and remembers important details of my regular shipments, so that expedites things. Recently she suggested using their special service for online orders, and this simplified my Amazon re-sale orders and brought the price down a dollar per item (I believe the tracking is free with this option). While I am not a superfan of USPS generally, with shipping items everyday I use different services depending on the price and level of service that I want. Since I ship a lot of books, I like the USPS media rate, which is a lot cheaper than the same package via UPS. I like this branch because I know the person I am dealing with (always the same), it's less busy than the Union branch, and because I get much better service. read more

Sign says it reopens from lunch at 1:30... It's 1:53 and no sign of their return. Lobby full of people waiting to send their packages... Seriously?! read more

Brought our holiday gift boxes in (about 30)to be mailed only to be turned away by an extremely rude worker. If you're not willing to do your job, maybe you shouldn't have one. read more

I just have to write a review for the Secret Post Office because I love that it exists. I used to go all the way down to the location in the International District, but the constant line out the door and surly, uncaring employees was always a put-off. Then came the glorious day when my coworker asked me, "Why don't you just go to the post office in the federal building a few blocks away?" My stamp roll-buying, certified mail-sending, package dropping-off days got a whole lot better. It's a 5 minute or less walk from my office, there are rarely more than 2 customers at any given time (in my experience), and I really like the lady who's always working the counter. She knows what she's doing and has a good sense of humor to boot. Beware, they are usually closed for the one employee's lunch break around 1-1:30pm (which amusingly sent a yuppie into a tizzy fit yesterday. I personally didn't mind spending an extra 10 mins. away from work until she returned). Good stuff! read more

Oh happy day! Getting some freshly wrapped parcels into the mail is one of those bitter sweet feelings in life. You're letting go of something that you either worked really hard on to wrap up or write up, up into the air like an Eagle. Truth be told this should be a fairly simple transaction. No fuss or fight here but this is one of the first locations I've had to actually summon help from. I arrived a little confused because it's located inside of a Federal Building that has armed guards approach you if you so happen to walk through the wrong double doors. Immediately to the right, however, is a little room with no one standing ready to help me. Instead she is ducked behind the cubicles in back waiting for the little "help bell" to ring. Wow. I wish I could get paid $15-$20 an hour to only move after I'm rang for and not answer a question that a paying customer asks. Simple questions will get you stupid looks and imprecise answers so watch out! Certified mail and first class arrive at the same time btw they just charge extra for that tracking number so unless you have to go here and do something like that, don't bother. read more

I have developed a complete trust and appreciation for the Postal Service, thanks especially to the people working here at 1st and Marion. Meredith is consistently helpful, reliable and kind. I appreciate when the trip to the Post Office is a refreshing and enjoyable break from the office. Thank you Meredith!! read more
