Mailing vs Dropping off Ballots

Hello SJC Demcrats,

I have one more reminder for you about the election Tuesday August 4; I am trying to get the information about returning ballots as accurate as I can.  I have heard from a number of you with helpful information, so I am going to relay that here.

Karen tells us that if ballots are mailed on Tuesday, because they go to Seattle to be postmarked, they may not get postmarked by Tuesday.  Especially with the Postal Service starting to slow down on getting the mail processed and delivered, at Trump’s behest, you will want to mail your ballot by Monday.  After Monday, you will need to use the drop boxes.

If you need to use the drop box, here are the locations:

San Juan Island:

Election Office
55 Second Street STE A
Friday Harbor, WA

San Juan County Court House
350 Court Street
Friday Harbor, WA 

Orcas Island

Orcas Island Senior Center
62 Henry Rd
Eastsound, WA

For those of you on Orcas, Marlia reminds us that the drop box is is at the north end of the building near the Jehovah’s Witnesses Hall.
 

Lopez Island

Lopez Island Fire District Office
2228 Fisherman Bay Road
Lopez Island
