🔥 Celebrate Smokey Bear’s Birthday with a Free Day in Nature! 🐻🌲
Sunday, August 9, 2026 is Smokey Bear’s Birthday — and it’s also one of the Discover Pass free days in Washington! On this special day, you won’t need a Discover Pass to park at Washington State Parks and other public lands managed by state agencies. That means you can enjoy hiking, picnicking, exploring trails, and soaking up the outdoors without the usual parking requirement.
Smokey Bear has been helping remind us to “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires” for decades, and what better way to honor him than by safely enjoying the incredible forests and open spaces of Washington? 🌲🛶
👉 Plan your outdoor adventure for August 9 and take advantage of free access to the state’s natural beauty!
