With the new year just beginning, and local outdoor enjoyers antsy to utilize Washington’s over 140 state parks, Washington State Parks announced its slate of pass-free days for 2024.
While the first free day of the year came and went on January 1, there are still plenty of opportunities to enjoy Peace Arch and Birch Bay State Park while on a budget.
January 15, March 9, March 19, April 22, June 8 and 9, June 19, September 28, October 10, November 11 and November 29 will be free for all day-use visitors.
SnoParks are not a part of the free days and will still require a daily permit for use from November 1 to March 31. Any overnight fees are still required on those days, according to a Washington State Parks press release on the free days.
Typically, a one-day pass is $10, and is only valid for one vehicle at a given time. Washington State Parks encourages visitors who plan on going to multiple state parks over a season to invest in an annual pass for $30. The pass can be assigned to two vehicles, but only one vehicle may use the pass at a time.
