BACKGROUND: The United States Postal Service (USPS) main office in Lynnwood is adjacent to and south of the Snohomish County South Court facility. The USPS currently has a ground lease to access the south entrance of the County's South Court facility for the purpose of ingress and egress for postal delivery trucks that will expire February 28, 2023. The USPS would like to continue using this entrance for access purposes beyond February 28, 2023 and also desires to add access to the north entrance and the western lane of the parking area at the back of the facility. The term of the Ground Lease is five years to commence March 1, 2023 and end February 28, 2028 and has two 5 year options. The annual lease rent that USPS will pay for use of the property is in the amount of $14,524.00 during the term of the lease and increases if the options to extend are exercised. The Ground Lease can be terminated by either party with 30 days written notice. South Court Administration is in agreement to allow the USPS to continue using the parking lot for access as it does not impact the daily operations of the court facility
