Can I bring my dog(s)?
Dogs are welcome at Silver Lake Park but must be kept on a leash at all times, even when in the water. Dogs are not allowed inside the Day Lodge facility. Dogs are not allowed on the beach at any time. You are responsible for cleaning up after your dog.

Can I decorate the facility?
All sites must be left in a "leave no trace" state. Users can use decorations, confetti, etc., but everything needs to be picked up before you leave.

Do I still need a "Liquor License" if I've paid the $60 Alcohol Use Fee to Whatcom County Parks?
The Alcohol Use Fee charged by Whatcom County Parks is not a liquor license. To find out if you need a State of Washington Banquet Permit please check here. It is your responsibility to research and follow all laws pertaining to alcohol use at your event.

Clean-Up Policy
Customers are required to leave the facility in the same condition as when they arrived. Garbage and recycling must be removed from the premises (must be taken from the park) unless the customer has paid the optional waste disposal fee.

Determining Whatcom County Residency

1. The credit card billing address is what determines resident versus non-resident.
2. If the credit card is not in Whatcom County but the customer is a county resident, they can provide a utility bill to get the resident rate.
3. If the credit card address is not in Whatcom County but the customer owns property in Whatcom County, the customer can provide property tax info to get the resident rate.
