The facility is run by the Washington State Parks Department and provides visitors with the chance to look through the 24.5-inch telescope, one of the largest apertures in the USA available for public use. There is also a secondary dome which houses an eight inch Schmidt-Cassegrain reflecting telescope. The Observatory offers tours and sky-gazing opportunities year-round. The Summer hours are April 1 - September 30, Wed. - Sun., 2 PM to 5 PM and 8 PM to Midnight. Winter hours are Sat. 1 PM to 5 PM and 7 PM to 9 PM and Sun. 1 PM - 5 PM.
