The Oysterville Post Office is the oldest post office operating continuously and under the same name in the state of Washington. However, since its beginning in 1858 when Washington was still a Territory, the post office here has never been in a building of its own. It has operated out of private homes, even from the back of a saloon, but most often in association with a general store. Since 1918, it has been in its current location at the west end of the Oysterville Store just at the foot of Davis Hill.
Permission for the geocache was provided by the postmaster. Please respect the surroundings and patrons. Do not trespass on private property next to post office.
