The Department of Natural Resources has issued a statewide burn ban restricting the use of outdoor burning, campfires, the use of charcoal briquettes, and prescribed burns on all forest lands within DNR’s fire protection, including all Washington State Parks, through Sept. 30, 2024. This date may be extended or shortened depending on fire conditions. For more information, visit our Alerts page.
In partnership with Washington CoastSavers, Parks puts on three beach cleanup volunteer events a year and our first one, the Washington Coast Cleanup will be on April 20.
Last year, volunteers picked up 14,350 pounds of trash during the Washington Coast Cleanup. Join us at 1 of 10 parks participating in this year’s cleanup — Cape Disappointment, Fort Flagler, Fort Townsend, Fort Worden, Grayland Beach, Mystery Bay, Ocean City, Pacific Beach, Shine Tidelands or Twin Harbors.
