State reps demand answers after reports of 'mountain' of undelivered packages, mail in North Sound

With election day Tuesday, widespread reports of postal delays around northwest Washington have prompted state representatives Suzan DelBene and Rick Larsen to call for the USPS to address the mail failures.

Pictures recently posted to social media show hundreds of packages stacked up and uncovered behind the Ferndale post office.




According to a joint media release from DelBene and Larsen, they have received more than 170 complaints from Lynden residents and additional complaints in Whatcom, Snohomish and Island counties about delayed mail and packages containing medication, bills and passports.

People in Everett have raised concern they have not been receiving daily mail deliveries for weeks, and people in Ferndale haven’t received mail deliveries for over a week.

My mail has been slow as well since DeJoy took over.

Also, DelBene and Larson are US Congress people who are part of Washington's delegation not state-reps as the KIRO7 article says

Contracting to the post office, that everything is all fixed including delivering live chicks

If there are chicks in that pile, I am pretty sure they’re dead
