Annual Discover Pass price increasing from $30 to $45 this year
Washington state's Discover Pass, which allows access to state parks and lands, will increase its annual price. Starting Oct. 1, the Discover Pass' price will increase from $30 to $45. This is the first time since 2011, when the Pass was first introduced, that a price increase has been implemented. The increase was passed by the Legislature in April and signed by Gov. Bob Ferguson earlier this month. The operation and maintenance of Washington's state parks relies heavily on revenue earned by the Discover Pass, camping and other fees. Despite the increase, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission said it will not see significant new revenue between 2025 and 2027. A Lifetime Disabled Veteran (LDV) Pass can be used in lieu of the Discover Pass. LDV passholders will still receive free camping, but they are no longer exempt from paying camping reservation-related transaction fees. Reservations made with LDV passes before Oct. 1, 2025 will not be subject to reservation fees. Anyone making or changing a reservation after this date will be subject to reservation and change fees. Those who do not wish to buy an annual pass can get daily passes at parks, usually going for $10 a day. Learn more about a Discover Pass here.

Her daughter was one of three people who were killed in the shooting, with a fourth person fighting for their life in the hospital. As of Tuesday afternoon, Seattle police were still searching for the person behind that shooting. FOX 13 sat down with Rivas, her pain cutting so deep that talking about what happened is almost unbearable. "I just want to give her a hug and tell her I love her and I'm sorry, I wish I could've saved her," Rivas said. The last time she saw her daughter Keilani Harris was on Thursday night before she got ready to go out with her friends. She gave her a hug and kiss and told her to be safe. "I just wish I would've given her a tighter hug, a deeper 'I love you,' if I would've known, I keep replaying that in my mind," Rivas said. The 19-year-old was family-oriented, a ray of sunshine and funny, Rivas said. "She had a really contagious laugh, you could hear her laugh a mile away, she just loved to lift up the room and had a very fun personality," Rivas said. She told FOX 13, knowing that the person who stole her daughter's light is still out there makes her want to throw up. "I pray that the Lord instills something in your heart to come forward because it's not right, so many lives are shattered because of this, my beautiful little girl, she was so excited for life," Rivas said. Right now, she's finding strength in prayer. "I do believe I'm going to see my baby one day again, and I am going to see her, I hope the rest of my years fly by so fast, so I can see her again," Rivas said.
