I’m still happy to live here (conservative eastern side of WA) but this is the weekend we “get” to start displaying the “Discover Pass” for access to state parks and state lands (even undeveloped DNR wastelands) and even some highway rest areas that are on the edge of state parks! Now I don’t object to the $30 annual fee for the first one, but each vehicle needs one and they can not be shared. Sometimes I take a street legal motorcycle or another, sometimes an old Jeep, sometimes a minivan with the whole family. After a few years the cost is really going to add up!
BTW, the Discover Pass requirement applies to visitors also. $99 fine. Welcome to Washington! And often the parks aren’t staffed so you can’t always buy the pass onsite. Double welcome!
