OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — Olympic National Park partner Discover Your Northwest is holding its annual holiday sale through Wednesday.
The sale offers a wide variety of options, from Pacific Northwest gifts to stocking stuffers.
Throughout the sale, customers will receive a 15 percent discount at the Olympic National Park Visitor Center bookstore, 3002 Mount Angeles Road in Port Angeles, and at the temporary Hoh Visitor Center, 18195 Upper Hoh Road in Forks.
Members of Discover Your Northwest and other national park cooperating organizations are eligible to receive a 30 percent discount when they present their membership card.
Along with books for children and adults, Discover Your Northwest sells maps, DVDs, stuffed animals, puppets, puzzles, games and T-shirts. It also offers a variety of postcards, note cards and posters created by local artists, including photographer Ross Hamilton.
Passes not discounted
The annual Olympic National Park and America the Beautiful national parks passes, as well as senior passes, will not be offered at discount prices; however, they are available at Discover Your Northwest locations and can be purchased as gifts.
“For anyone who makes at least two trips into Olympic in a year, the park’s annual pass is a great value,” Olympic National Park Superintendent Sarah Creachbaum said.
Sale items and park passes will be offered at the Olympic National Park Visitor Center, open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
A more limited selection of sale items will be offered at the temporary Hoh Visitor Center, open during winter operational hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Proceeds help park
Proceeds from annual passes benefit Olympic National Park. Eighty percent of the fee revenue collected in the park is used for projects that directly benefit park visitors, including trail maintenance, campground improvements, accessibility upgrades and visitor services.

VIMO gets boost
PORT ANGELES — First Federal recently donated $2,500 to Volunteers in Medicine of the Olympics’ capital campaign.
VIMO is using funds from the campaign to move out of its location on Georgiana Street by building a medical office building.
“We will be better able to serve our patients with a larger space,” Executive Director Gary Smith said. “In our current space, we cannot keep up with the demand for our services.
“We are grateful to have a neighbor like First Federal. We appreciate their generosity in our community that will allow us to provide many with a better quality of life.”
