The active duty restriction is due to covid mitigation. Normally, active duty and retired personal are welcome and encouraged to visit. If you have any questions about current restrictions, just call the office at 360-257-2649. They can give you the latest policy during the year of weird.
At present the park only allows active duty personnel. It should be opening soon to retired personnel. No, it's only open to active and retired personnel from what I was told.
