Passes are available at many Washington retailers and online for $35 (annual) or $11.50 (daily).

Permanent Washington State Disability placards are accepted as an exemption from the Discover Pass requirement (those passes are blue).  Washington State issued Disability License Plates are also accepted as an exemption.
Temporary placards do not qualify for the Discover Pass exemption but are valid for parking in ADA designated stalls (those passes are red).
- Permanent Disability placards or license plates.  Only valid at State Parks (you’ll still need a Discover Pass to access lands managed by WDFW or DNR).  Make sure to bring your placard ID card or vehicle registration. Temporary (red) parking placards will not be accepted for day-use parking or camping discounts. Â
