Sunday and Monday are the first of 12 “free days” in 2014 being offered to visitors who want to visit Washington State parks.

During these days, visitors are not required to display a Discover Pass.

The “free days” are in keeping with legislation that created the Discover Pass, a $30 annual or $10 one-day permit required on state-managed recreation lands managed by Washington State Parks, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Department of Natural Resources.

After this holiday weekend, the next “free day” is March 19.
