Disability Pass

Pass benefits

Free parking (no Discover Pass needed), watercraft launch and trailer dump use at State Parks.

50% discount on nightly camping or moorage fees. Provides access to ADA accessible campsites.

This pass is free to apply for and must be renewed every 1 or 5 years.

The Disability pass doesn't take the place of a Discover Pass when visiting lands managed by Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife or Department of Natural Resources.

Residents of Washington who've been issued a permanent disabled parking ID card, or special license plate, under state law, get free the same benefits.  Temporary (red) parking placards will not be accepted for day-use parking or camping discounts.
