Keep in mind that these are only applicable to the suffix of the street. For example:
3 WAY POINT RD FRIDAY HARBOR WA 98250-7500
is a valid address. Assuming that Way is the end of the street address would be incorrect. Also,
3 WY POINT FRIDAY HARBOR WA 98250-7500
is NOT expanded (WY to WAY) by the USPS to match the correct address.
