TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - Sales of a new state park parking pass - the Discover Pass - is not raising the cash the state of Washington expected.
Lawmakers have almost cut parks off from taxpayers' help, whether or not the new $30 annual parking fee can fill the gap.
The News Tribune reports that if the program fails, the parks agency would have to find new money or close most of the state's 116 parks.
Some officials hope sales of the pass will improve during its first spring. But they worry that people will continue to dislike the parking pass because it can't be transferred from one car to another. That issue should come up before the Legislature this winter.
