Spoiler warning: This guide contains spoilers regarding playable characters within the game.
The Last of Us Part 2 is full of various secrets and collectibles, but a constant thorn in your side may be the safes you come across. You'll have to search the environment for the codes to unlock them, but you'll be rewarded with some pretty valuable items inside. You can also do it the easy way and use the codes on this list.
The safes will be listed in order as you encounter them throughout the story. Other than the first one, all of them can be found in Seattle.

Safe #1 — Greenplace Market in Jackson, Wyoming (07-20-13)
At the beginning of the game, you'll eventually find yourself in a supermarket near Jackson while you're out on patrol with Dina. Make your way to the roof and you'll encounter a floor filled with spores. The combination to the safe in one of the rooms is the date that a dog got employee of the month. You can find it on a bulletin board right outside the office.
Safe #2 — Westlake Bank basement (60-23-06)
When you enter Seattle you'll notice a large building in rubble to the Northwest. Crawl through and eventually you'll make your way to the basement of a bank filled with infected. The code to the vault is located in the safe deposit lockers on the floor.

This safe can be found just past Gate West 2. I think the code should pretty much speak for itself given the number's history.
Safe #4 — Courthouse office lockup (86-07-22)

You have to go to the courthouse as part of the story, so the location is unmissable. Before jumping down the elevator shaft, you'll find the courthouse office lockup safe in one of the back rooms.
Safe #5 — Wellwise Store & Donations (55-01-33)
You'll come across this safe in the Wellwise Store & Donations building as you're making your way to the TV station. At first you'll think the code is the number listed on a missing cat flyer on the bulletin board, but it's actually written on the bathroom wall in the adjacent room.

After leaving the theater in Seattle for the first time you'll head through Route 5. There is an apartment building for lease and the second floor bedroom on the left has a safe, The combo is the tenants' wedding date, which is 30 years before the date marked on the calendar hanging on the wall.

With Lev as your companion, you'll jump off of a bridge into an apartment building during this section as you attempt to get to what they refer to as the "tall building." The safe can be found inside the bedroom, and the code is the apartment number you are in and the neighbor's apartment number.
