On the CHS Calendar Denny Blaine Labor Day Nude-In Protest
The Denny Blaine Labor Day Nude-In Protest will occur from 3 to 6 PM, aiming to maintain the park's clothing-optional status. The Seattle Parks Department's decision to create a restricted "nude zone" follows a court order due to complaints about illegal sexual activities. Organizers invite participants to embrace nudity or spirit, promoting community engagement through a potluck, art, and music. This protest continues a series of actions resisting restrictions on the historically queer nude beach. Previous events, such as nude puppet shows, demonstrate the community's commitment to preserving their space.
The ongoing lawsuit by local residents over the nude beach's popularity has fueled tensions. The forecast calls for upper 70s temperatures and partly cloudy skies, setting a welcoming atmosphere. The event exemplifies the intersection of social issues, community rights, and local culture in Seattle.
