Support from Waldron Island

We received the following letter from the Waldron Community Chairperson:

To the Deer Harbor Save the Post Office Committee,

The Waldron Community understands the importance of a Post Office in terms of convenience, commerce and as a valuable component of local community.

We support the Deer Harbor Community's efforts to maintain their Post Office. The Waldron mail comes through the Deer Harbor Post Office and is then transferred by boat to the Waldron Post Office. Any alternative location would greatly impact the Waldron Community. It would result in much more time to transfer the mail, and it would increase fuel costs. Not only would moving the Deer Harbor Post Office create a higher cost to getting mail to Waldron, but Deer Harbor is the safest harbor on Orcas Island, and any alternative location could potentially create problems in getting mail during the winter months or in inclement weather conditions.

Thank You for your Consideration
Janice Lyons
Waldron Community Meeting Chair
