There are 12 “fee free days” in 2014, when visitors are not required to display the Discover Pass to visit a Washington State Park. 
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. 

The 2014 state parks free days are as follows:
· Jan. 19-20 – in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day
· March 19 – Washington State Parks birthday
· April 19 – A spring Saturday “free day”
· April 22 – Earth Day
· May 11 – A spring Sunday “free day”
· June 7-8 – National Trails Day and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Free Fishing Weekend
· June 14 – National Get Outdoors Day
· Aug. 25 – National Park Service birthday
· Sept. 27 – National Public Lands Day
· Nov. 11 – Veterans Day

There are a total of 18 days of Fee Free use in Washington State for 2014. Here is a table showing the dates and agencies participating
