Lacey history – this week 2000

Customer service at the Lacey Post Office was on the minds of many people this week in 2000.   The Lacey Chamber of Commerce has asked for better service and quicker response time.   It has threatened to picket the post office if service doesn’t improve.  Recently, due to growth, the postal service added two new ZIP Codes to Lacey – 98513 and 98516.

Kite Boy and Kite Girl are the newest elements in Lacey’s efforts to bring public art to the community and to signify where the city begins.  Nancy, the Kite Girl was put in place in April, but her brother, Jimmy, the Kite Boy has yet to find a permanent home.   The first choice for a home for Jimmy is Sleater Kinney at I-5.  The second choice location is on College Street near city hall.  (The city opted to place Jimmy on Sleater Kinney.)
