Oh, My post office DOES allow that, and I use it for UPS, FedEx and any
others that indicate they will not deliver to a PO Box.  But the insurance
company and the Washington Department of Licensing want to know where the
vehicle is physically kept. As I indicated already, they are fine with
mailing to the PO box, and do so. But if I used the PO physical address for
the vehicle location, that would be false. FWIW, the address for my PO box
for package delivery is:  1501 S Mullen Rd #1578, Airway Heights, WA
99001-1578.  So if anyone has a package they want to send to me, send it
there.  A letter?  That should go to my PO Box:  PO Box 1578, Airway
Heights, WA 99001.  Junk mail?  A recently restored, like factory new,
Vanagon GL Campmobile you no longer want?  Bring that in person to my
home.  Ask via a personal message for that address.
