Do you know how they get the mail to the folks who live on Pt Roberts?
For those who don't know this, there are two little bits of the US
(lower 48) that though not islands have no land connection to the US
and this is one of them. Have to go through Canada. I guess since
Puget Sound doesn't freeze they could use boats. Northwest Angle (MN)
is the other and during the time Lake of the Woods is neither open nor
frozen solid, boats would be out.
The only time I ever discussed this with PO "experts" they said they
couldn't imagine sent in sealed bags through Canada << I didn't tell
then that once upon a time Canada had that sort of arrangement with
us for mail to the Yukon -- Before the highway, the only way in was
the railroad from Skagway Alaska to Whitehorse and mail came up from
Vancouver by ship and then the railroad over the pass back into
Canada. So why not reciprocal arrangements >>

According to an Internet search it appears they send mail via boat
to/from Seattle. Mail sent from Pt Roberts is post-marked Seattle. I
presume incoming mail is sent out from Seattle by boat.
You're right, Puget Sound does not freeze -- but there are days that it
feels that way!
