The Orient Post Office is a very small office located to the side of the People’s Place General Store. It is independent of the general store. The current population of Orient is 113 as of 2014.
Though a small community it offers a few interesting points of interest. As you enter the town from Hwy. 395 you will notice a large white fire lookout tower on your right. It was relocated from First Thought Mountain located within the Colville National Forest. There is a small park and roadside is the Orient weather station. Just north of the post office on C Street is the historic Orient School established in 1910. It is now designated a registered historic places. Further down Main Street is a boarded up storefront that was the former post office. Orient also has a small cemetery located about 3 km south on 3rd Avenue.
Orient Washington was originated by Oriental placer miners and this is how the town was named.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.
A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.
If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
