More families can enjoy state parks with updated Foster Family Program and pass

Saturday, September 2, 2023

OLYMPIA — Aug. 31, 2023 — The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (Parks) has implemented changes to its Foster Family Program to provide more families with the opportunity to camp and enjoy parks.

The changes include a new streamlined application process, an official discount pass card for families to carry and an expansion of the program to include more qualifying families.

The Foster Family Pass gives Washington residents who provide out-of-home care – including foster parents, caregivers and kinship families – to a minor child access to free nightly camping (reservation processing fees still apply) and free day-use parking.

Parks is now accepting applications for the updated Foster Family Program.

Foster families were previously required to show their Washington State driver’s license and a foster license or caregiver ID card to prove they qualify for the program. However, this process excluded an estimated 48 percent of families who provide out-of-home care to children.

The new Foster Family Pass will open the program to kinship families. Now, families who provide out-of-home care to a child from their extended family will be able to enjoy this discount with their loved ones.

Families can still use the current system of proof until June 1, 2024. After that, they will need to apply for the new Foster Family Pass to participate.

Receive help with Foster Family Program applications and trip planning from our Information Center by calling 360-902-8844 or emailing infocent@parks.wa.gov.

    Washington State Animal Response Team (WASART) rescues dog from mountain trail

    Friday, July 28, 2023

    Kanu being packaged for transport
    Washington State Animal Response Team (WASART) +1 425-681-5498 or 911
    is a volunteer organization which rescues pets and livestock in emergency situations: such as dogs over cliffs, horses in wells.

    This past Sunday July 23, 2023 they received a call about an American Bulldog-Cane Corso mix named Kahu who was on the new Mailbox trail in the Cascades and unable to make it back to the trailhead.

    WASART responded in partnership with King County Search and Rescue Association

    Kanu was too fatigued to make it
    out on his own.
    King County Search and Rescue’s Rapid Alpine Deployment team (Team 1) was first on site and was able to send a hasty team up trail to the dog and owner.

    Soon after, Team 2 with members of WASART and ESAR (King County Explorer Search And Rescue) were also on location with the dog. 

    Kahu had paw damage including a torn paw pad. After bandaging the paw and further evaluation, it was evident that he was too fatigued to continue down the trail on his own. 

    During that time, Team 3 arrived carrying the rescue litter which was assembled for his ride down.

    Making sure Kanu is secured in the litter
    Kahu was carefully packaged and secured into the litter. WASART and ESAR members worked together to carry the litter the 2.7 miles back down to the trailhead. 

    Moving a litter down a trail is hard physical work and arms get tired. Having lots of responders available to switch out and rotate with keeps the litter moving efficiently down the trail.

    Volunteers take turns carrying the
    heavy litter down the trail.
    Once back at the trailhead, he was placed in the owner’s car and they headed to the emergency vet for further care.
     
    The team debriefed, packed up, and headed home.

    A huge thank you to King County Explorer Search and Rescue and King County 4x4 Search and Rescue for their assistance. We are fortunate to work alongside some of the best search and rescue organizations.
