#341: University District, NE 45th Street at 17th Ave NE

341) This box used to live such a wonderful existence. Positioned right across the street from the main entrance to UW, it is on a main migration path for all the pupils who funnel down 17th from the dozens of fraternities, sororities, apartment buildings, and dank basements. There was a time when the box received a constant stream of letters, most of them to parents being asked to send more money. “Nowadays, all those damn kids just use their Instagramcrackers and Snapwhatevers,” the box lamented. “I doubt any of them know which corner of an envelope gets the stamp.”

#279: Ghost Box: Meridian, N 50th Street at 1st Ave NE

279) Once again, I was too late. This time, by mere weeks. Faithful readers know that the single biggest threat to mailboxes is construction. It has been far too common of an occurrence for me to arrive at a mailbox location only to find the box gone and temporary fencing in its place. The inset photo is from Google Street View, showing what the scene looked like for many years (or even decades). But as you can see in the main photo, right now it’s just a scene of disappointment.

#310: University Village, 25th Ave NE

310) So, how’s your 2018 going so far? If you happen to be a mailbox on the western side of University Village, I’d say your 2018 is off to a great start. Just look at how happy this guy is! Sure, it’s rather cold out there, but he’s got a nice bike rack and garbage can to keep him company, and these days that counts for a lot.

#308: Children’s Hospital, off of the Ocean parking lot

308) For the last post of 2017, I thought I’d show you one of the most elusive boxes in Seattle. Oh sure, it looks like it’s right out in the open and easy to spot, but I assure you, that was not the case. All I knew was that there was supposedly a box on the Children’s Hospital campus, but I could not spot it using Google Street View, and my first venture exploring the campus turned up nothing. But when I tried again, I realized that I had overlooked an entire parking around back, and hey, there it was! 

And wow, that was a really dull story. I’ll have to do better in 2018.
