Last week, we noted the deadline for commenting on a proposal to increase entry fees to 17 national parks, including Olympic National Park, was Nov. 23.
Just as that editorial was going to press, the deadline was extended to Dec. 22.
If approved, starting May 1, 2018, the cost of an annual pass would go from $50 to $75. From May to September, fees would be $70 to get into the park with a vehicle, instead of the current $25; $30 for a person to enter the park on foot or bike, instead of the current $10 fee; and $50 to arrive by motorcycle, instead of $20.
If you have thoughts on the subject, you now have more time to share them by checking out the park’s website, which includes a fact sheet and a place to comment. Go online to

We were given the gift of one more month on this issue. Please use it.
