Downtown Spokane post office will not relocate, as earlier planned
The downtown Spokane (Riverside Avenue) post office will not relocate in 2012.
We have the story at Spokesman.com, and we're still trying to nail down suggested reasons for the about-face.
In August the USPS announced the station, at 801 W. Riverside, would close in 2012 and relocate to a smaller location in downtown. That plan was reversed for reasons not fully disclosed by the USPS.
The decision doesn't affect plans by the Seattle USPS district office to sublease about 24,000 square feet of space on upper floors of the Crescent Court building on Main. That effort is continuing, but hasn't landed a new tenant.
