New acting postmaster in Shelton
By Gordon Weeks

Rob Davies, who has worked for the
U.S. Postal Service for 13 years, is the
new acting postmaster in Shelton.
Davies replaces Dawn Lui, who was
transferred to another office, said Er-
nie Swanson, the spokesperson for the
USPS in Washington and Oregon.
Davies was born and raised in Fife,
and graduated} from Fife High School
in 1990. After working odd jobs, he en-
listed in the U.S. Air Force in 1995 and
was stationed at Fairchild Air Force
Base in Spokane. After completing his
four-year stint, he attended the Uni—
versity of Washington.
After the attacks of 9/11, Davies
signed up for another two years with
the Air Force and was stationed at
Moody Air Force Base near Valdosta,
Georgia. He then worked as an insur-
ance agent. v
The U.S. Postal Service hired Da-
vies in 2007. He worked as a part-time
flexible carrier in the Proctor district
in Tacoma before becoming a full—time
carrier in University Place, Lakewood
and Tacoma.
“I liked the freedom,” he said.
“You’re not in the office environment
— you’re in the elements.”
The biggest challenge “is when the
house is not marked, and the mail box
is not marked, making sure the mail
is delivered to the right house,” Davies
said.
After working for a couple of years
as a fill-in supervisor while still work-
ing as a carrier, Davies was named the
full-time supervisor in Fife in 2011
and then Spanaway in 2016. He trans-
ferred to Shelton in June 2018.
“I wanted to be out of the hustle
and bustle of Tacoma and Seattle,” he
said.
Davies commutes to his job from Ta-
coma, “an hour on a good day.” When
the oldest of his two daughters gradu-
ates from Spanaway High School, he
plans to find a home in the Shelton
area.
The Shelton Post Office handles of
the mail bearing Shelton and Matlock
ZIP codes, and has 48 employees.
