Residents in Hamilton are voicing their frustrations about living without mail service for over a year. "If this was Bellevue or Seattle this would've never happened. It's been going on for 13 months," says customer Deborah Ulrich. Thirteen months ago the Skagit River spilled over its banks and flooded the town of Hamilton, damaging the town's post office. The estimate from the postal service to fix it was $72,000, but the entire building itself is worth far less. Now, people are forced to make a 26-mile roundtrip journey to Concrete to pick up their mail. Many in the town are elderly or don't have reliable transportation. At the cafe, people gathered to vent their frustrations. They discussed people not getting their medications in the mail and Christmas presents being returned to sender, as was a stack of water bills totaling $3,500. "People's water bills are getting returned, they're getting charged late fees. People's electric bills are getting returned, they're getting late fees. People are gonna go to collections," says Town Council Member Mike Ulrich.
