Navy SEALS to train in more than a dozen state parks February 1, 2021 at 9:16 am Deception Pass State Park is one of the parks where Navy SEALS will be allowed to train going forward. (Nicole Jennings/KIRO Radio) Navy SEALS will be allowed to conduct water and land training activities in up to 17 coastal state parks, as per a 4-3 vote by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission on Thursday. SEALS, the Navy’s elite special forces, have trained in certain Washington State Parks over the past three decades because the geographical conditions of state parks lend themselves well to the types of special operations activities done.
