Proposed and Current Transfers

Current and Proposed Transfers: 2025-27 Biennium

The Board of Natural Resources approved the ranked list of applications provided by the Trust Land Transfer Advisory Committee during its September 2024 meeting.

DNR asked the Legislature for $30 million in funding for the top eight parcels in the committee's rankings: 

• Beckler 6, King County, Tulalip Tribes
• Okanogan G, Okanogan County, Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation
• Tract C East, Tract C North, and Tract C South, Yakima County, Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation
• Babcock Bench, Grant County, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
• South Lake Ozette, Clallam County, Quileute Tribe
• Middle Fork Snoqualmie, King County, DNR Natural Areas Program

The Legislature fully funded the Beckler 6, Okanogan G, and South Lake Ozette applications and partially funded the Tract C North application in the 2025-27 Capital Budget. DNR intends to complete those Trust Land Transfers and request supplemental funding from the Legislature to fully fund the unfunded or partially funded proposals. 

Current Transfers: 2023-25 Biennium

In September 2022, DNR submitted a $25 million capital funding request for the transfer of 10 parcels of state trust lands. Click here to see a booklet about the proposed transfers and how they were selected.

DNR used money received from the Legislature during the 2023 legislative session to complete eight proposed transfers: Eglon, Devils Lake, Upper Dry Gulch, Chapman Lake, West Tiger Mountain, Blakely Island, Rustlers Gulch, and Moses Lake Dunes.

For the two funded TLTs (Morning Star and Lake Spokane Campground) not completed before the end of the biennium on June 30, 2025, DNR intends to fund them with money reappropriated from the Legislature for that purpose.
