Located at 205 West Washington Avenue, in the heart of downtown Yakima, this particular postal branch has become a go-to for residents in neighborhoods like Barge-Chestnut, historic North Yakima, and the newer developments along Summitview Avenue. The facility is strategically positioned near the Yakima County Courthouse, making it easily accessible for legal professionals and residents handling court-related matters who may also need to update their identification documents. Its proximity to the intersection of North 2nd Street and West Yakima Avenue, a bustling crossroads for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic, further enhances its visibility. The demographics of users range from first-time passport applicants, including graduating seniors from Davis High School and Eisenhower High School preparing for post-graduation trips, to established professionals working in Yakima’s agricultural sector who require international travel for business.
