Searching for the kindest post office in the city

Hi! My dad died in Illinois (on Christmas woooo) and I’m his executor. I’ve been having a heck of a time trying to get his mail forwarded – the Seattle USPS employees I’ve tried doing this with have taken one look at my Illinois Letter of Office (the correct executor document provided by the IL state court) and been VERY unhappy with me and moved me along. They won’t accept anything other than WA executor papers, which, as I’ve tried to tell them, do not and cannot possibly exist. This man did not die here!

I tried sending in a paper change of address form and that was rejected and I was told to ….. go to my local post office.

I turn to you: what, in your opinion, is the Seattle USPS office with the most empathetic employees? The most patience? The highest likelihood that there will be someone who will take pity on me and consider that different states might have slightly different executorship papers?

I’m looking for heroes! And hopefully this post can serve as a resource for other wayward souls.
