The first two parks were designated in 1915: Chuckanut State Park (now: Larrabee State Park ) and a pioneering building (now: John R. Jackson House State Historic Site ). The quality and size of the area is extremely different. It ranges from Riverside State Park with 5666 hectares to Blind Island State Park with 1.2 hectares.
