Queen Anne Post Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver once muttered under his breath as he struggled with a heavy package: ‘This box is heavier than Queen Anne herself!’ Since then, locals claim that on windy days, you can hear an old lady’s voice whispering strange instructions from inside the post office. One day, a neighbor passing by heard the whispers and decided to investigate. To everyone's surprise, it was just an old radio playing static in the corner. Since then, whenever someone mentions Queen Anne’s ghostly voice, people joke that maybe she’s trying to tune in to her favorite soap opera.

2. A mail carrier paused mid-stride one morning, staring up at the old clock tower above the Queen Anne Post Office. As he shook his head, a nearby neighbor leaned out her window and asked, 'What’s got you so puzzled today?' ‘Nothing much,’ he replied, rubbing his chin. ‘Just noticed that the clock is stuck on 1968.’ The neighbor laughed, waving her hand dismissively. ‘Probably just needs a good wind-up,’ she said with a smile. They both turned back to their daily routines, but from then on, whenever someone mentioned the Queen Anne Post Office, they’d wink knowingly—because, after all, who doesn’t love a little bit of quirky charm?’

3. A small boy walked into the Queen Anne Post Office one afternoon, puzzled by the sound of an envelope whispering ‘deliver me’ from behind the counter. The clerk looked down and saw nothing but a plain old envelope. Smiling, she asked if everything was alright. The boy nodded solemnly and whispered back, 'It’s just that every time I come here, you people never listen!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the envelope.

4. A curious poodle named Maxi kept darting into the Queen Anne Post Office every Tuesday, sniffing the air and staring curiously at the old-fashioned counter. One day, a delivery driver noticed Maxi’s unusual routine and decided to follow her. Turns out, she was always running off to meet her friend—a squirrel who lived in an old oak tree across the street. The driver reported it to the postmaster, who shook his head with a smile, saying, ‘Maxi’s just another Queen Anne character.’
