Go to the ranger station at your local JBLM get a recreational parking permit pass to use designated unused military land for fun events for the family or pets

I need to get on the base a lot for work, and so most of the people in the visitors center know me well enough by now. They're always super fast and helpful in getting my day passes made, and I almost never see a long line waiting. I've been going there almost daily for the last 4 months, and I've only had to wait longer than 10 minutes on two separate occasions. They're (understandably) sticklers for their security policies, but they won't tell you no just because it's a policy. They all have good heads on their shoulders, are reasonable, and will work with you to get you the clearance you need in order to be eligible for a pass. I'm going to miss seeing them all the time once my long-term pass is finally approved. I might come in for visits just to say hello! 😂

I didn't go inside but the grounds are really nice. Great statues of Lewis and Clark and information about their expedition.

I have a expired identification and privilege card, and my husband just passed away. What do I need to have to get it renewed?

Are we talking about military issued ID or WA State with privilege card for base usage?

Is the visitors center on or off the base?

It's on the border but technically outside the gates, the secondary 24hr station is on the gate-line as well.

Hi, I an an Army Veteran. I am in the process of starting a non-profit that will offer financial assistance and room condos. Would I be allowed to recruit Directors if I go on post?

I'm not sure.....You should probably get in contact with JBLM PAO ( public affairs office ).

Can one use an ID that says veteran on it to get in?

Ginnette Wise | Aug 11, 2022
coachlunk Rubio | Aug 12, 2022

You have to go to the actual office and register your Veterans card(from the VA) to get base access. Anyone with you over the age of 16 will have to get a pass. If your retired or family member with a military ID you should have no problems. Plan time to go to the visitor center they are slow.

Can you leave your car overnight at the visitor center?

Chelsea Smith | Aug 11, 2022
Michael W. Curl | Aug 12, 2022

Nope. They tow it on the dot on that hour. But your service member can pick you up from there and drive your car onto post as long as one of their friends gives you a ride.

I work for DoorDash, can I deliver on base if the food come from off base? Like the other day I had a McDonald’s order that I cancelled because I don't have military ID, so I figured since I don’t I can’t go on base.

Can you just go to the visitor center to take photos of the old fort gate and visit the Meriwether Lewis park or do you still need a pass?? Nowhere answers this simple question!

Kathy Suttell | Aug 11, 2022
Curtis Fratianne | Aug 12, 2022

There are several statues and the old gate at the visitor center. No pass needed. Do NOT take pictures of the current gate or of the installation itself.

You also have to have a sponsor they can contact while you are there. And make sure you have no weapons in your vehicle. No guns or knives.
