Mail Delivery Halted for an Entire Seattle Zip Code
ELAINE MALLON 20 May 2023
Seattle residents in the 98118 zip code had to pick their mail up at the post office last week after the United States Postal Service paused delivery due to rising thefts.
“Mail delivery to less than 900 residents in parts of south Seattle was affected last week because of equipment security concerns. Improvements to the affected equipment were made, and all mail was delivered to the impacted residents,” Postal Service spokesperson Kim Frum told Fox News Digital.
The delivery pause was tied to thieves stealing a master key used by postal workers to open cluster mailboxes found in apartment buildings all throughout the city, KIRO 7 reported. Mail delivery resumed this past Tuesday.
While some residents received a notice from their apartment building of the pause, others said they learned through Facebook or by talking to neighbors. Residents had to go to the post office to pick up their mail. Some waited more than 45 minutes, only to be turned away when the post office closed at 5:00 p.m.
Resident Juana Esquibel said she tried picking up her mail three times and even got off work early to pick it up.
Nancy Truittpierce told KING5 that the post office could not give a date when delivery services would resume:
“I was asking one of the women when I was picking up my mail, ‘How much longer?’” Truittpierce said. “They don’t even know; they can’t tell us. They’re telling us to rent a post office box; that’s not an answer. That’s a ridiculous answer; there are people who aren’t able to do that.”
The United States Postal Service announced robberies of mail carriers are 50% higher than last year, KIRO 7 reported. Robberies have more than quadrupled in the last decade, with criminals targeting Arrow and Modified Arrow Lock (MAL) Keys, Fortune reported. USPS is currently in the process of replacing 49,000 of the arrow lock keys with electronic versions to deter criminals from robbing mail carriers.

What a nuisance. No lock on my mailbox nor most of them in my neighborhood. Can't imagine how the Post office could fix this problem. Seems like all the mailboxes would need to be rekeyed.
Looks like the problem may be resolved. https://mynorthwest.com/3888368/mail-delivery-halted-entire-zip-code-south-seattle/ and folks should have received their mail today. I would worry that the thief made copies of the master key.

They only start noticing when they run out of $$$. It's not like the local govt hasn't been stepping over these same people on the sidewalk for a decade or more. Tax payers are fleeing these places like crazy. When the suburbs start looking the same they move to a red state. ::)

Portland, Oregon, lost $1 billion between 2020 and 2021 as residents fled rampant homelessness and crime, taking their tax dollars with them.
According to an analysis of Internal Revenue Service data by Oregon Live, Multnomah County, where Portland is located, hemorrhaged 14,257 persons filing taxes, resulting in a record loss of $1 billion in revenue.
Those who moved were also relatively wealthy, with the former residents holding incomes 14% higher than persons who had moved out of the area the year before. Over the course of the year, the average income of county residents who stayed declined slightly.

Mayor Wheeler’s plan must be working because recently I had an annual appointment with the dermatologist in N.E. Portland near Emanuel Hospital. A year ago, there was a large encampment on the sidewalk surrounding an electrical power station on the street where the doctor's office is located. This year there was nary a sign of even one homeless camper. For a moment I wondered where those homeless campers went.

Slave labor anyway. It's some sort of reparations right?
The whole Dick's situation is hilarious. Sport in general is a merit based endeavor, the woke stuff just goes like oil in water in that space. Their stock dropped from $140 to $110 and never recovered. Never went back in one after they started getting shitty on firearms.

California Restaurants Say They’re Nearing ‘Extinction’ Because of Rampant Lawlessness
Restaurateurs say that fear of carjackings and other crime is keeping people from dining out in Oakland
Published 09/19/23
Restaurateurs in Oakland, California, are saying crime rates — and the publicizing of crime rates — are tanking business and contributing to closures.
Fear of theft and carjackings in the area has led to a decrease in diners going out to eat, according to SFGATE, and recent crime statistics show that those fears are not entirely unfounded.
According to the Oakland Police Department's citywide crime data, motor vehicle theft was up 5% in 2022 from 2021, carjackings were up 1% and commercial burglary was up 76%.
While crime has been increasing over the past five years, according to the datasheet, SFGATE points out that some of these rates are still lower than they were pre-pandemic.
Local restaurateurs told the outlet that stories of cars getting broken into and other instances of crime have been a huge topic of conversation on public and social media platforms, and they're saying it's making people steer clear of the area.
One restaurant general manager, Ryan Dixon — who says his restaurant's business is down 25% and his staff has decreased by 20 people — told the outlet that the Bay Area has a terrifying perception of what it's like in Oakland, and said people tell him they don't feel safe coming to visit (or patronize the businesses) from the suburbs.
"We want them to be safe. We want their cars to be safe. We want them to come back. Our biggest problem right now is our lack of revenue because of people not coming," he told SFGATE. "Hyping up the crime here scares more people away."
Some restaurants have been able to take matters into their own hands — one eatery leased a parking lot so diners had somewhere safe to leave their cars — but others can't afford the cost and look to the city to help.
SFGATE reports that government officials have allegedly left the local businesses without aide, and missed a recent deadline to apply for grant money that would help combat organized retail theft.
