Meet Tami and Michael Lindquist. They’re about to open a branch of The UPS Store in the Westwood Village breezeway, their fourth in the region. We first told you back in March that the shipping-and-more business was going to open there; now they’re almost done with construction in the space, and contacted us with an update. They’re expecting to soft-open on January 5. Here are the services they plan to offer:

Domestic and International shipping
USPS shipping Services
Packaging
Notary service
Printing services
Document scanning
Document Shredding
Laminating
Binding
Printing
Faxing
Passport and ID Photos
Amazon Returns
Happy Returns
Other returns
Package Reciving
Personal Mailbox Rental
Office and mailing supplies

We asked about their days and hours too:

We will be open 7 Days a week:

Monday-Friday 8:00-6:30
Saturday 9:00-5:00
Sunday 10:00-3:00

The Lindquists say this will be their fourth UPS Store; their first three are in North Seattle, Lynnwood, and Everett. “We have been store owners since 2020 and we are excited to be opening this center in Westwood Village.” West Seattle had a UPS Store, under different ownership, in Jefferson Square until 2023.

Really cool! I won’t have to drive to Burien any more.

Excellent! Been so long I was wondering if this had gone away.With the closure of Staples, it’s been a shipping desert.Having notary service will be nice as well.

Shipping and notary services are very important. Every community needs to have them, and its great to see that West Seattle will no longer be a desert for both.

Thanks for letting us know. This is great! A helpful addition to our neighborhood, especially since Staples left. Nice to see all UPS offers. The realty office next door left is seems. Always hopeful for more businesses.

IDC9 January 5, 2026 (9:05 am)

Sounds like there is another vacant space to fill there. I wonder who or what might move in.

jim December 16, 2025 (1:11 pm)

Wow! Thanks for choosing Westwood Village. Been lost locally since Staples closed.

JCW December 16, 2025 (1:35 pm)

YAYYYYYYYYYYY!! We are thrilled to have a UPS store at Westwood Village! Losing staples has been such a pain point. Very much looking forward to being here often!

I’m so happy to see this, I’ve missed having a UPS store right here in the neighborhood!

Tamea December 16, 2025 (3:52 pm)

Glad to hear it! Welcome to West Seattle!

Kyle December 16, 2025 (4:00 pm)

Great news! Another nice addition to Westwood Village. Now if we could only get a pharmacy back…

If they can stock some basic office supplies (beyond what you can get at Target) that would be a bonus!

IDC9 January 5, 2026 (9:08 am)

Target carries a fair amount of office supplies, and the prices are typically reasonable. What supplies do you feel Target is lacking that this new UPS store should carry?

Great! I am most happy about a convenient Amazon.com return location where I can just drive up to, hop out, and run in. Losing the Jefferson Square store was a blow. There is an Amazon return office in the Whole Foods store, but it is difficult to access due to having to park in the underground garage and climb multiple steep staircases to reach their tiny space. There’s always a line, forcing you to stand awkwardly on the stairs awaiting your turn. Even parking on the side street is challenging, if you can find a nearby space and the street side door is always kept locked, probably due to security issues. Then it’s a fairly long walk around to the main entrance and through the store. When you’re mobility-challenged and carrying a bulky package, it’s rather daunting. This new location will be much easier.

I agree, the Whole Foods returns situation has been made comically frustrating. I hate it.

You can easily take two elevators to the Amazon counter from the parking garage. First take one to the main store level, then take the second one just before you get to the stairs to the Amazon counter, past the self-checkout section. If you have bulky items, there are plentiful shopping carts in the parking garage. Couldn’t be easier.

Rob December 18, 2025 (5:00 pm)

Glad to hear it! Welcome to West Seattle!

Ray West December 23, 2025 (5:25 am)

Todd – Easier for who? For those who are young, healthy, and still mobile, the Whole Foods drop off site is fine. However, it is still an effort for the mobility-challenged (particularly those using a cane), what with navigating through parked cars in the garage, fetching a shopping cart, getting on the elevator, parking the shopping cart once upstairs, and then waiting line with your bulky package while standing/balancing on the short staircase to their tiny office. (The elevator does not go up to the Amazon service counter level.) Then there’s the journey back down the stairs and elevator to the garage. The Jefferson Square location was easy with parking out front and a short, straight walk into the store. Presumably the Westwood Village UPS will be as convenient. Unless someone has the same physical issues/limitations that others face, they cannot claim that, “it couldn’t be easier).

Sorry, comment time is over.
