OLYMPIA—Washington State Parks announced June 26 a ban on campfires in all state parks because of extreme dry conditions and hot weather. The fire ban also extends to all ocean beaches with the exception of federal and tribal lands. If you are planning to visit those sites, please check with the local jurisdiction for burn ban restrictions.
Currently, Washington State Parks are under a Level 4 – Extreme fire ban or higher. A Level 4 ban means that fires are restricted to gas and propane self-contained camping stoves. No charcoal or wood fires will be allowed, even in designated fire rings.
As the Fourth of July weekend approaches, parks officials remind the public that fireworks are never allowed on state parks property.
