Hi Pete and Tweets:



I?ve got a Golden Eagle pass and Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge accepts that as do other National refuges and of course the National Parks. That pass doesn?t work at State access parking areas though. However, you can work around the $14 state parking fee a little bit ? if you?re 70 years old. I?m a bit older than that and purchase a fresh water fishing license which now costs $6 a year and comes with a parking permit good for two automobiles (not at the same time though ? you have to pen in each license number on the single permit).



>From the NWR Site:



Daily fee is $3.00 per four adults. An Interagency Annual Pass (old Golden Eagle), Senior Pass (old Golden Age), or Access Passport, Federal Duck Stamp, or an Annual Refuge Pass will admit the pass holder and 3 additional adults (over age 16).

Hi Pete and Tweeters:



Several years ago I picked up a Golden Access pass while visiting Nisqually. It may not work in the particular area you're interested in but it covers parks throughout the United States. Check this link for more inffo: http://www.nps.gov/fees_passes.htm.bak

Good Luck,

Ann Marie: Well, being usually resourceful, I went to the Washington DFW web site to check on Senior/disabled Parking Permits. I did not find any way to apply for one. Can you give me more information?

Do you know about the lifetime passes that are available at no cost to seniors and/disabled persons?

Hi Mike:
The Department of Fish and Wildlife issues an annual permit, good for one
year from the date of purchase. Last year they were $14. They are good at
any area which says that the permit is required. They are available at Fred
Meyers, most sporting goods shops, even at bait stores. I got my first at
the general store in Conway, on the north side of Fir Island Road.
