SATURDAY IS NATIONAL Get Outdoors Day — and to celebrate, there’s free entry to state and national parks for you and your family.

See the outside world on Saturday without the necessity of the customary $15 vehicle charge at the gates to Olympic National Park (and other national parks across America).

You can also ignore the “Discover Pass Required” signs at Washington’s state parks (like Fort Worden and Sequim Bay) on Saturday.

(If you wish, invest in more park visits by purchasing the $30-a-year pass next time you renew your auto license tabs.
