Check Out Washington – Discover Pass Backpacks
The Check Out Washington backpack is part of our Library of Things collection and includes binoculars, field guides, other interpretive materials, and a special Discover Pass for parking at Washington State Parks.
In partnership with Check Out Washington, this program is funded in part by the Washington State Parks Foundation.
You can place a hold on the Check Out Washington backpack in our catalog. The checkout period for the backpack is 28 days.
We hope that providing these passes will help increase awareness and access to state lands, especially for those who might not otherwise be able to obtain a Discover Pass.
The specially designed Library Discover Pass for the Check Out Washington program does not require a specific license plate number to use the pass. This means that library customers can use any vehicle, including rental vehicles, to park and access state parks and trailheads with this day-use Library Discover Pass.
