Sunday and Monday are the first of a dozen free days in 2014 at Washington State Parks when visitors are not required to display the Discover Pass to visit a 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 free days apply only at state parks — the Discover Pass is still required to access DFW and DNR lands.

The 2014 State Parks free days are as follows:

• ·         January 19 and 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 and 8 – National Trails Day and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Free Fishing Weekend
• ·         June 14 – National Get Outdoors Day
• ·         August 25 – National Park Service birthday
• ·         September 27 – National Public Lands Day
• ·         November 11 – Veterans Day
