Seattle’s famous nude beach isn’t being forced to cover up, but a judge has ordered the city to crack down on public sex acts and lewd behavior that neighbors say have created safety concerns.
A King County judge ruled Wednesday that illegal sexual conduct at Denny Blaine Park amounted to a public nuisance and found Seattle had not done enough to address neighbors’ complaints. The city must now dedicate more resources to enforcement and create a plan to address allegations of public sex acts and masturbation, but the judge stopped short of ordering the park’s closure.
