The National Park Service is proposing
in 2001 to conduct a telephone survey of households in western
Washington State where the following national parks are located:
Olympic National Park and Mount Rainier National Park. In this
survey, persons will be asked why they visit or do not visit either
national park. This information will identify the reasons former
visitors have stopped using the parks and why non-visitors do not
go the parks. The NPS goial in conducting the survey is to
determine if former visitors have been displaced and if other
persons do not go to Olympic and Mount Rainier national parks
because of crowding etc.
