People will have the chance to meet Karen Gustin, the superintendent at Olympic National Park at an open house Sept. 30. Gustin took over the top spot at the park in April.
The event will be held from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the Sequim Visitor Information Center, 1192 E. Washington St., Sequim.
“I’m very eager to meet people from the Sequim area and am grateful to the Sequim Chamber and the Friends of Olympic National Park for hosting this event with us,” Gustin said in a news release.
Open houses are being scheduled for other peninsula communities, including one in Quinault on Oct. 22. Additional details will be announced when the schedule has been finalized.
Olympic and Mount Rainier National Park will waive their $15 per vehicle entrance fee Sept. 27 in recognition of National Public Lands Day.
Olympic National Park will also allow free admission Sept. 28 in honor of our newly naturalized U.S. Citizens.
“We invite our neighbors and visitors – and especially any of our newest citizens – to enjoy Olympic during this special weekend,” Superintendent Karen Gustin said in a prepared statement. “We hope these two days will create lasting memories for our visitors, and the inspiration to enjoy Olympic and other national parks, again and again.”
Newly naturalized citizens can receive a special welcome packet at the entrance stations or visitors center.
