Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison is pushing back against a motion to close Denny Blaine Park, a nude beach that has faced scrutiny for criminal activity.

Davison said the park should stay open, asserting nudity is not the issue and wrote that the “queer nude space has a social utility” in her response to the lawsuit filed by neighbors in King County Superior Court, 聽reported Thursday.

Reported criminal behavior at Denny Blaine Park

The group Denny Blaine Park for All filed the motion seeking an emergency closure of the park, citing public masturbation, sex acts, drug use, and harassment, according to “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH.

Davison noted that while nudity is not the problem, criminal behavior should not be tolerated.

“The city submits that nudity at Denny Blaine is not a nuisance and is not properly abated by this court,” Davison wrote in the response to neighbors’ motion for a preliminary injunction. “Public nudity is subject to city regulation, and the city has chosen not to enforce nudity regulations at Denny Blaine. However, the city has not consented to the alleged drug and alcohol use at the park, or to illegal parking and masturbation.”聽

Denny Blaine for All has submitted evidence of daily dangerous incidents, alleging that visitors are harassed, there are blatant sex acts, and the park is littered with condoms and needles, “The Jason Rantz Show” reported.

Despite countless 911 calls and one neighbor meeting with Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, plaintiffs said nothing has changed.

A hearing is scheduled for July 11 with Judge Samuel Chung. Until then, The Capitol Hill Seattle Blog noted, the park remains open and nudity is allowed.
