PORT ANGELES (AP) — Washington's Fort Flagler State Park is one of two in the system that could be part of a pilot program to bring in more private business development.
The Peninsula Daily News reported that the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is considering seeking proposals for private development of some park amenities, like cabins or food service, at Fort Flagler or Millersylvania.
Fort Flagler is on Marrowstone Island and Millersylvania is about 10 miles south of Olympia.
State parks spokeswoman Virginia Painter says the system already has concession agreements without outside vendors, but the pilot program would let the parks reach out to companies for development at a specific spot.
The soonest the commission could take action on the pilot proposal is September.
