i am still trying to persuade my ground dwelling parents to bring me. wold it be alright to bring them if they sleep in a tent? thanks
Thank You for the research Gary. If I understand correctly if our rental car has Washington plates we need a Washington permit. I can not just buy a Oregon Permit, and use it, because of the plates being from Washington. I never know where the cars we rent might be licensed. I never worried about permits. I have always used my Disabled Parking Permit or my Senior BLM Pass, no matter what state the rental car is from. Maybe I can just leave a note on the dash about the vehicle being a rental.
"However, if your vehicle has Washington plates, you must have a Washington permit to park in a winter recreation area in Washington."
The way I read that.. You can use an Oregon pass, it just wont work in Washington Sno-Parks if you have a Washington plates...
It ends "In Washington"
How does everyone else read that...?

I guess, I had better make some phone calls on Monday and see if I get a firm answer. My plates could be from almost any state. The vehicles freqently have Washington, California or Nevada plates. I just never worried about the plates before. I guess I need to smarten up befoe I end up fighting a ticket. I am not sure that if I put a not on the window that the Coppers will read it.
Thank You Gary.
Hello, again, Gary
Okay, the way I read it is: Washington State does not want Washington State residents, purchasing the less expensive Oregon SnoPark Pass, so, if your vehicle has Washington plates on it you must have a Washington parks permit. That fundamentaly blocks Washington residents from purchasing the Oregon SnoPark Pass, (which carries a lower price tag) and using it in their home state. I will have to call the folks about my question on the license plates for rental vehicles.
I really think it only matters if you are going to Washington..
The hang is in Oregon so I think your safe.
If worried about it don't buy a pass till you have your rental car. Or ask to make sure you have Oregon plates.
The question I would ask along with that is do the rental cars have traction devices in there car or studded wheels?
