SEATTLE (AP) — To honor the National Parks System’s 103rd birthday, both it and the Washington State Parks system are giving free admission. The Seattle Times reports single-day visitors to any state park on Sunday, Aug. 25, won’t need a Discover Pass to park. The pass costs $30 a year or $10 a day. The 2011 law that created the Discover Pass system also directed the state parks system to offer as many as 12 free days per year. After Sunday, two free days remain in 2019: Saturday, Sept. 28, which is National Public Lands Day, and Monday, Nov. 11, Veterans Day.
PORTLAND, Ore. – From salmon to Crater Lake to Smokey Bear, an array of Oregon specialty license plates have helped drivers show their support and raised funds for a variety of causes. Next up could be a license plate featuring a mule deer, Mount Hood and a message: “Watch for Wildlife.” The Oregon DMV has approved a plate design proposed by the Oregon Wildlife Foundation. The specialty plate voucher costs a $40 surcharge when ordered, and at each renewal, along with regular title, registration and plate fees. The foundation said it has to sell 3,000 vouchers before DMV will put the specialty plate into production. You can buy a voucher and find more information at https://www.myowf.org/watchforwildlife.
