Reason 24: Dogs are welcome in State Parks

 I mean dogs ARE welcome in Washington State Parks, not just on paved roads, in car parks and campgrounds, but also on trails and beaches.

I had always taken this "dog right" for granted, until, when I was holidaying in California, and realised Jasper, my baby boy, was not allowed in most of the state parks and sandy beaches.

Although we did have a good vacation with some sandy beach water fun, thanks to the google search and help from the locals, this got me to re-think how awesome Washington State Parks are!

It is true that beaches, even ocean beaches, in Washington State, are not the same look and feel as the sandy beaches in California, but the fury family members don't have to be left home in a sunny and warm day when sea breezes and ocean waves sound so inviting!
