The best things in life don’t require a Discover Pass.
And on certain days in 2022, visitors won’t need one to visit Washington State Parks or recreation lands managed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Normally, access to these areas would require visitors to pay fees of $30 to $35 annually or $10 to $11.50 for day-use passes.
