Denny Blaine Isn’t a Safe Place to Get High/Drunk While Nude

I came across this post that is promoting a “cannabis-friendly, clothing-optional” event at Denny Blaine Park on Aug 6 at 7pm. It encourages public weed use while nude.

This post is not to shame anyone. It is to raise awareness and help people stay safe and avoid criminal charges.

✅ Nudity Alone Is Not Illegal Seattle law (SMC 12A.10.100) allows non-sexual nudity unless it causes alarm or offense. Denny Blaine is an unofficial nude beach, and many of us want it to stay that way.

🚫 Public Cannabis Use Is Illegal Washington state law (RCW 69.50.445) bans marijuana use in view of the public.

Smoking weed in a park = civil infraction Doing so while nude = higher risk of arrest or indecent exposure charge

This Event Is Promoted After City Abatement Deadline The timing suggests the organizer may not be aware that Denny Blaine is under legal pressure. Events like this draw enforcement and threaten the space for everyone.

Final Note: If we want Denny Blaine to remain clothing-optional, we must crack down on anyone who is promoting marijuana/drug/alcohol use while nude in public. Please think twice for your own sake and for the future of the park.
