What to know in Stevens County
Private land in Stevens County, which runs from Lake Roosevelt on the west across timbered ridges, hay meadows and valley pasture to the Selkirk foothills on the east, isn’t a venue by default, but owners can say yes to a specific, well-organized request. Lead with the date, head count, parking and what you’ll bring.
Ask Stevens County Land Services early whether a one-time event, or a recurring venue, needs a permit in that zone.
Washington’s recreational-use immunity (RCW 4.24.210) applies only when the owner charges no fee, so a paid event is a different situation. Put event insurance naming the owner as additional insured, sanitation, parking, cleanup and any seasonal burn ban in the agreement.
What to put in your inquiry

In the app, the Event venue template fills these in as [bracketed] prompts. Replace them with your details and send.
