ABERDEEN — State park officials are allowing wind-powered vehicles such as kite buggies on state-managed ocean beaches in southwest Washington.
Park planner Randy Kline says the new rules were finalized on Thursday and will take effect May 25.
Three-wheeled buggies pulled by a kite or a sail and other wind-powered vehicles will be able to use stretches of beaches in Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties.
Park officials plan to release maps outlining areas of North Beach, South Beach and Long Beach where they will be allowed.
