Discover Pass free days now include all state public lands in Washington

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Each year, there are 12 days when a Washington Discover Pass isn’t needed to access state recreational lands.

These are known as “free days,” and they give Washington’s outdoorsy types a chance to visit public lands without the need to buy a day-use permit or display an annual Discover Pass in their vehicle. Previously, free days only applied to certain areas. But that’s now changed.

On Thursday, Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill that extends free days to include all lands and recreation sites managed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the state Department of Natural Resources and the State Parks and Recreation Commission — some 6.7 million acres in total.

“This bill simply extends the Discover Pass free days … to all state recreational lands,” state Sen. Judy Warnick, the bill’s author, said during a floor speech in January. “This will help avoid confusion and create more equal access to all our public lands.”

1. Another thing to keep track of...

I'll buy my next Discover Pass in April and when I do, I'll probably want to avoid these days since they're apt to be crowded.
