Annual Pass Now Required to Visit WA State Parks

There has been some negative publicity about the $30 annual pass now required to visit WA State Parks, but if this new law had not been passed to create much-needed revenue, Lime Kiln and Moran were apparently among the parks slated for closure. You can purchase the "Discover" Pass at the first park you visit this year. You can also buy it on line, though the cost is $5 higher. Check the SP website for details: http://www.discoverpass.wa.gov/ Note that the pass is vehicle-specific, but there is apparently an option to cover multiple vehicles in a household.
