Reason # 5,469,389,903 why I love Seattle....



SEATTLE - When it comes to public nudity, Seattle may be the most liberal city in the country, but a number of organized, naked bike rides prompted the parks department to reconsider nudity on beaches and city parks. But Thursday night, the city's parks board refused to ban non-offensive public nudity despite some complaints from the public. Nude events will therefore likely continue in the future, although perhaps under tighter scrutiny.
The parks board decided that to limit nudists would be to single them out. If nudists follow the rules, they can continue to use the parks. Naked bike rides are a Seattle tradition. In Seattle it's illegal to flash someone, but perfectly legal to run around nude and police officers take action only if a nudist is lewd or obscene.

LONG LIVE THE SOLSTICE PARADE's NAKED BIKERS...you knew it was summer when you saw the freeballin', floppin' painted skins of those crazy bikers.
I love you Seattle!
