Certain state, county, and private land near Olympic National Park's north edge can become part of the park. The land must be accepted under a separate law about land transfers. Once accepted, it follows all the same rules as the rest of the park.

Title to state, county, and private land north of the line between townships 27 and 28 north (Willamette base and meridian, Washington), and lying within the boundaries of Olympic National Park as it now exists or is later set by presidential proclamation, may be accepted under section 485 of this title. Once the United States owns this land, it becomes part of Olympic National Park, subject to all the same laws and regulations that apply to the rest of the park.
