The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission wants the public to know that Tuesday, Aug. 25 is a state parks ‘free day.’ Day-use visitors will not need a Discover Pass to visit state parks.

The ‘free day’ is in honor of the 99th birthday of the National Park Service, which was established on Aug. 25, 1916.

Washington State Parks will have two more ‘free days’ in 2015: Sept. 26, in recognition of National Public Lands Day and Nov. 11, in honor of Veterans Day.
