Longer but limited St. Edward Park leases

Beginning July 27, 2025, Washington State Parks can lease specified St. Edward State Park property for up to 80 years, replacing 62.

Leases longer than 20 years need at least five commission members voting yes. The law removes the required Department of Commerce study finding no economically viable public or nonprofit use.
