OLYMPIA — Money to plow snow, groom trails and maintain restrooms at winter recreation parking lots in Washington will be gone as of Friday.
The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is urging winter recreationists to check with local authorities if planning a trip to parking lots maintained by the sno-park program.
The agency budgeted 20 percent more for snow removal this year, but the state received about double the snowfall.
Pamela McConkey, winter recreation program manager, said the parks agency is not allowed to dip into future years’ funding.
