The 6/2025 request form prints "PO Box 40228 Olympia, WA 98504-0234" — discrepancy on form; web pages consistently say PO Box 40234. The division "has only one mailing address" (the PO Box); "Commercial couriers such as UPS and FEDEX must use our overnight address" — the Tumwater street address, which "can only receive overnight deliveries by a commercial carrier" and cannot receive regular mail
