Seattle Park Ordered to Act on Nudity | Seattle News

A King County judge has ordered Seattle to crack down on lewd behavior at Denny Blaine Park, declaring public nudity and sex acts a public nuisance and issuing a permanent injunction. The historic LGBTQ+ gathering spot, long cherished as a refuge since the 1980s, has seen a surge in inappropriate activity since 2018 — especially after the pandemic — prompting years of resident complaints and legal action by the group Denny Blaine Park for All. Despite the city’s efforts — including a clothing-optional fence, increased patrols, and trash collection — vandalism and continued misconduct forced the court’s intervention. The judge rejected closing the park but mandated a full enforcement plan: staffed monitoring, clear rules, privacy buffers for nearby homes, and active reporting of violations — all to restore safety and respect for all park users.
