In early May, USPS master key for zip code 98118 (south Seattle) was compromised, resulting in mailings coming to a stop for residents where mail is delivered and accessed through cluster mailboxes, commonly seen in apartment and townhome housing complexes. USPS estimates approximately 900 residents of this zip code were affected.
USPS resumed mail deliveries on Tuesday, May 16.
