Hello,
I have been working with the RCW intensly for the past few months.

1. It currently is a personal license NOT a parking permit.
2. It is to be carried on the person.
3. You need only one type of license to use WDFW lands, although I know
some people who have purchased both hunting & conservation just to add to
the funding pot. They were purchased seperately on different days.
4. The recent HB2819 seeks to gut the entire Con. Lic. program and make it
a parking permit to fund ONLY improved access areas and even more
specifically to fund boat access areas. I know this as I went to the
public hearing at the House Natural Resources Committee. It appears that
some top staff want to get more money for their program needs and do not
care that another program may be gutted in the process.

HB2819 is NOT supported by most WDFW employees including many in law
enforcement and even more in the Lands Program.
