The Olympic National Forest will begin selling commercial salal harvest permits on March 18, 2025, in Forks, with additional sales on March 19 in Quinault and Quilcene, Washington. Each permit costs $150 and allows individuals to harvest salal for commercial purposes, with only one permit permitted per person.

The Forks and Quinault offices will offer 25 permits each, while the Quilcene office will have 50 permits. In addition to the salal permit sales, Mason Health is proud to announce its scholarship programs aimed at supporting Mason County graduating high school students and healthcare workers.
