Here’s an opportunity for you to apply for what many consider to be a “dream job” – working as a Park Ranger for Washington’s beautiful state parks. As a Park Ranger, you get to work outdoors, share your passion for the outdoors with the public, protect the public and the state’s natural resources. There are so many opportunities for learning, growth, and advancement options. While law enforcement is not the only work you’ll be performing, these positions at the Park Ranger 2 level, are fully commissioned and armed. If this sounds like your ideal job, we would love for you to apply!

<\/strong>\n

**UPDATE**\u00a0<\/strong>Due to recent legislation and the implementation of HB1132, candidates who have not attended a law enforcement academy will be required to attend the 18-week Basic Law Enforcement Academy (BLEA). Park and Recreation will sponsor your attendance and cover the academy fees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(Candidates who have completed a law enforcement academy (NOT BLEA), are subject to a general equivalency certification (you will be asked to provide a syllabus of the academy completed) and will also be required to attend a two-week BLEA Equivalency Course. Candidates whose law enforcement equivalency cannot be certified would be required to attend the full 18-week BLEA academy.)<\/em><\/p>\n
