[pct-l] Resupply - WA #2 (Snoqalmie Pass)

[Gary Swing]

I would also like to mail a large resupply package to Snoqualmie Pass.
However, the planyourhike.com website says the mailroom at the Chevron
station Post Office is too small to store packages and they are
actually stored at the North Bend Post Office -- 23 miles away. The PCT
Planner website had a note that the Snoqualmie Pass Post Office may not
be available for receiving general delivery packages. Does anyone know
for sure if this site is a reliable location to send resupply packages?



Thanks,



Gary

Time wise is where the PO USED to be.  It's now at the Chevron Station.

Refer to google maps, satellite view.

At Snoqualmie Pass you'll find (North to south, sandwiched in between the 
freeway and the frontage road labeled 906 in the sat view):

Chevron Station - usual quickie mart supplies plus hot dogs, jo jo's , etc.  
Limited hours post office as well.  Double red roofed building, one larger, one 
smaller (the smaller covers the pumps)

Summit Inn / Howard Johnson:  The hotel.  Red roof.  Biggest building.

Summit Grocery:  Just to the south of the hotel.  Small grocery store, limited 
selection.  Light gray roof

Red Mountain Coffee:  In the travelers rest building (south 1/2), where the Time 
Wise used to be.  They have pizza by the slice and some wraps / sandwiches and 
other coffee shop fare. Good espresso drinks - get your caffeine fill here.  
Dark colored roof

Note:  Attached to the HoJo / Summit Inn is where the pancake house used to be.  
They lost their lease last fall.  In talking with a waitress there just before 
they closed, she said that the HoJo folks wanted to open their own in house 
restaurant.  I've yet to be back up there recently, so don't know if it's open 
again yet.  Red roof, part of the hotel building

Note:  There is another restaurant open at the pass.  It's on the "other" side 
of the street from the hotel (the ski slope side), toward the left (when facing 
the hotel from the street) about 100 - 200 yards.  Near the Forest Service 
office / info building.   I've yet to go here.  I don't recall the name.

Thanks  Chris and Diane for the info. The PCT Data book I bought says the "Time  
Wise Grocery is being rebuilt". Is it done, is this where the PO  is/was? I 
intend to send a large resupply box to here or Summit, just  want to send it to 
a place I can get it from! Thanks!
