There is a new face at the Lakebay post office as Postmaster Corey Swolgaard took over the top position in late April. It didn’t take long for locals to begin filling him in on the history of Lakebay post office located in the unincorporated town of Home. No stranger to being the new guy, Swolgaard’s 12 years of postal service had him working in Ollala, Tahuya, Southworth and Port Orchard post offices. He became the supervisor for both Bremerton and Port Orchard post offices, later serving as the Brinnon postmaster before coming to Lakebay. “I strive for good customer service. If anyone has a problem with the mail, call or visit the post office,” he said. “We’re here to help.” A Port Orchard native, Swolgaard lives with his wife and a young Chihuahua/Shitzu puppy on 3 rural acres in Belfair, with his children and grandchildren nearby.
