On Tuesday, it appeared that the print edition of The Wahkiakum County Eagle would be delivered a day later than usual this week.

The US Postal Office in Cathlamet closed down at noon on Tuesday,Christmas Eve, and we were unable to deliver this week’s edition in time to meet that holiday schedule. The delay meant that the papers would be mailed Thursday and delivered Friday, a day later than normal.

However, we spoke Tuesday morning with clerk Lisa Mooers, and thanks to her, we were able to get our papers into the postal system after hours.

The online edition is posted, too, so readers can catch up on the news that way.

Also, printed papers are available late Christmas Eve in newstands at Kirby’s Cathlamet Market, Cathlamet Chevron and Gragg’s General Store, and of course, Thursday morning at The Eagle’s office at 77 Main Street
