This land belongs to everyone. Public land survives because people show up for it. Had a great time volunteering at Love Letters and Landscaping at our historic park yesterday!

We are not ignoring it. However, because this is an active lawsuit, we are limiting public statements to ensure we don't accidentally damage the case or the legal strategy FoDB is building.
Sometimes the best support happens away from the timeline. We stand with FoDB. 🌲🏖️

OPA report concludes that during Summer incident at #DennyBlaine, Seattle Police planned to arrest people for simple nudity. They accidentally cited a nudity law from another city’s code. Report also misgenders victim. Visibility isn’t violence. Oppression is

Thanks to everyone who came to yesterday’s meeting with the Police Chief after Sunday’s illegal raid. Hijacking a wealthier neighborhood’s meeting isn’t anyone’s ideal way to spend a Wednesday night, but public pressure is what gets results. #DennyBlaine

Hey #Seattle! Want a mayor who'll protect #DennyBlaine? Tired of Bruce Harrell harassing us? Consider sending your democracy vouchers to Kate Wilson @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social. Hear what she said about Sunday’s police raids.

“a “regional venue” for public masturbation and public sex” GTFO Ive been sunbathing here topless for YEARS and this is not true at all!

Yesterday afternoon, three officers from Seattle Police Department targeted LGBTQ+ patrons at Denny Blaine Park. This comes on the heels of Jason Rantz' appearance on Fox News' The Ingraham Angle, where Denny Blaine was discussed. SPD told people they had to get dressed, and trespassed a trans woman who was lying on their stomach. When they refused to get dressed as instructed, police banned them from the park for a week. Public nudity is not illegal in Seattle, and Denny Blaine has long been a safe place for LGBTQ+ people to gather and express themselves freely. That residents in the area, and the Seattle Police Department find this objectionable, and feel the need to harass queer people, doesn’t change the law. The Executive Board of the 43rd District Democrats condemn SPD for their blatant harassment of Seattle’s queer community, and call on our elected officials to do the same.

Sitting by the water at #DennyBlaine, taking in the peace.
After yesterday’s raids, that peace feels more fragile than ever.

Seattle residents, the queer community especially, have enjoyed #dennyblaine beach for decades. Are we really going to let that change just because some rich asshole has the mayor's phone number? #acab #stuartsloan #bruceharrell #Seattle

Update: #Seattle police are falsely claiming all nudity is illegal. If neighbors complain, they’re ordering cover-ups and issuing trespass warnings or arrests.
This isn’t legal. Friends of #DennyBlaine are working on next steps.

Cops are raiding #DennyBlaine, Seattle’s oldest queer nude beach, despite Washington law allowing non-threatening public nudity. People quietly sunbathing are being targeted without cause. A beachgoer was trespassed for staying unclothed.

I heard cops are raiding #dennyblaine anyone hear anything? Looking for info before heading there.
The same neighbors suing, vetoed us putting up a sign that stated public sex isn’t allowed, simply bcuz it states #DennyBlaine is a #NudeBeach. This isn’t about safety, it’s about rich neighbors pushing us out of public land & limiting free speech.

After failing to turn Seattle’s queer #NudeBeach, #DennyBlaine, into a playground, millionaire Stuart Sloan and his neighbors now want a Park Ranger to crack down on “public indecency.” Outrageous!
