If you’re headed to a state park this weekend to enjoy the early spring weather, you may see some protesters. The group suing the Washington State Parks Commission over Naval SEAL training is organizing demonstrations in parks across the state.
The Whidbey Environmental Action Network’s Not in our Parks coalition is encouraging park-users to go out to their local state park on Saturday to picket, gather signatures, and speak to the public about why they oppose the Parks Commission’s January decision to allow Navy SEALs to train in more than a dozen coastal state parks.
