In another wave of cuts, Washington State Parks decided to shutter its services at Squak Mountain State Park, a network of hiking and horse trails just outside Issaquah.

Being public land, the park is open to walk-ons, but a locked gate will keep people from using the parking lot and restrooms will be locked starting in July, said spokesperson Sandy Mealing.

The move saves the parks system about $150,000.

This week the state House of Representatives approved a budget that would zero out money for the parks department and replace taxpayer dollars with $30 annual parking passes.

Legislators expect the Discover Pass could make $60 million. The change still has to be approved by the state Senate and the governor.

Whether Squak offers services again is up to how well the passes sell, Mealing said.

Several years ago legislators tried a user-fee model, but it reduced park attendance to a fraction of itself.

While the “zero service” at Squak may not be much of a setback for hikers, horse owners will lose a place to park trailers and saddle horses. The park has about six miles of horse trails.

The ranger assigned to the park already has become a vacant position. Rangers plan to offer reduced service to the park until summer, occasionally cleaning the restrooms and emptying the trash.

The 1,545-acre park has 13 miles of hiking trails that wind around babbling creeks, paved parking and interpretive trails.
