Mail theft in Sequim and Port Angeles has become a significant problem. There are a few things you can do to make it much less likely that you will be a victim of Mail theft:
1) Get a locking mail box. Home Depot carries them and with installation, the cost will be around $200.00.
2) “Go paperless” with your financial statements which means you do not receive a paper copy in the mail but instead receive an electronic copy of all your financial statements.
3) Open up a P.O. Box at the Post Office or purchase a commercial mail box at the UPS Store and have your mail sent there if you do not want to go paperless with your financial statements.
4) Do not put outgoing mail in your mail box for pick-up by the letter carrier. The red flag you raise on your mail box is an invitation to a Mail thief to come steal your outgoing Mail.
