The Federation has learned that 16 parks, not the 13 usually cited in the press, are slated for closure under the governor’s budget proposal. Federation parks members and lobbyists have gone on record opposing the cuts as harmful to jobs and the economic vitality of their local communities.
The 16 parks on the closure list are: Brooks Memorial near Goldendale; Boagachiel near Forks; Fay Bainbridge and Fort Ward on Bainbridge Island; Fort Okanogan near Brewster; Camp Moran Environmental Learning Center on Orcas Island; Joemma Beach on Key Peninsula in Kitsap County; Kopachuck near Gig Harbor; Lake Sylvia near Montesano; Old Fort Townsend in Jefferson County; Osoyoos Lake near Oroville; Schafer near Elma; Tolmie in Thurston County; Wenberg in Snohomish County; Nolte near Enumclaw; and Squilchuck near Wenatchee.
