What we found: Tacoma Power publishes an Alder Lake volunteer host route requiring an own RV and a three-to-six-month commitment. Its flyer provides a full-hookup site and a substantial presence schedule, including weekends. A separate 2026 Hydro Park Aide competition demonstrates paid, year-round campground registration and facilities work at the same utility park; that competition closed September 10. Record these as different arrangements within the organization. The public utility’s park network is independently administered, so State Parks applications should not be assumed to reach it.
