Seattle neighbors who live near a park favored by LGBT nudists are suing the city over a rash of sex perverts who are allegedly driving to the park in order to publicly masturbate. It’s gotten so bad that the city of Seattle is seeking Requests for Proposals (RFPs), with initial consideration to build “public masturbation deterrent infrastructure.”

The neighborhood group Denny Blaine Park for All is filing a complaint against the city of Seattle and its Department of Parks and Recreation “to abate public nuisance and for breach of fiduciary duty” in King County Superior Court. The legal complaint hits the city for its “failure and refusal…to protect the public interest.”

The park drew attention statewide after neighbors were angered that the park has become a nudist attraction. But it was politically tricky for the city because it became favored by Seattle’s LGBT community. Last May, the city announced a plan to build a playground at the park as a way to deter the nudity that upset local neighbors. The playground was donated by a neighbor. After the city was accused of targeting the LGBT community by seeking to alter the park from what it had become, Mayor Bruce Harrell backtracked and did not intervene.
Neighbors allege the park attracted public masturbation; city hoped to deter the behavior with ‘public masturbation deterrent infrastructure’?

Neighbors said there’s a new problem: because of all the news coverage, voyeurs from around the area, primarily men, have come by to stare at the nude beach and park goers while masturbating publicly.

“It is now a regional venue for criminal and uncivil behavior that includes public masturbation, public sex and other types of indecent exposure, drug use, unlawful public nudity, environmental damage to the shoreline, and scofflaw parking that prevents fire trucks and ambulances from reaching neighborhood homes,” the legal complaint, obtained by “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH, alleges.
