Jim Thomsen, a copy editor here, e-mailed this news story to me over the weekend. It seems one city is willing to pay nothing for an old post office and the postal service is willing to take it.
One council member said it was a great deal . . . for the postal service. A resident said it was a “sweetheart deal,” but meant it in a good way, not the way we normally associate sweetheart deals.
What a super idea and a ‘win’ for Bremerton and KC. That PO is a wonderful structure and it will be brought up-to-date by a company with deeper pockets than we have. Who cares about the $1. price?
Just think how much revenue Bremerton will get when other business lease/rent what isn’t used by the PO.
