About this episode

The episode discusses the efforts to have Denny Blaine recognized for its LGBTQ+ historical significance by the Seattle City Council amidst a lawsuit regarding the beach's future.

Friends of Denny Blaine is asking Seattle’s City Council to formally recognize the park’s LGBTQ+ historical significance as trial approaches in the lawsuit over the beach’s future. The effort builds on the park’s existing Washington Heritage Register designation and reflects a broader strategy tying the site’s nude culture and queer history together as a single documented legacy. The outcome could shape not only the future of Denny Blaine, but how public nude spaces are defended more broadly. More at www dot planetnude dot co. This is a public episode.
