Impromptu first time visit to Howell Park.

So being new to Seattle, actually all of Washington, I was suppose to meet up with a friend to see some of the sites today. Well, she had to back out at the last minute. Oh well. Rather than to explore on my own, I thought to myself. I had not yet had a chance to visit some to the beaches here in Seattle.
After a quick google search, first on the list was Denny-Blaine beach park. So made my way there. Had not prepared for a beach day, but considering what I was looking for, that should not provide too much of a problem.
Got to Denny-Blaine beach park. Very nice. Very pretty grounds. Was not use to beaches with rock and no sand, but livable. Saw plenty of topless women, but no one was nude. As was an impromptu visit, was not prepared for a beach visit, and did not want to be the first to be nude. Again, new to the area, and not sure if it would be ok to do so, did not risk it. So sat on a rock with my feet in the water, fully clothed, :-( for a few minutes.
Not wanting to make it seem like I was there to perv or anything, figured best to leave. Saw on google maps that Howell Beach is just south of Denny-Blaine. Have heard that one was suppose to be a nude beach too. So gave it a shot.
Got to Howell. And there was what I was looking for. Several nude people laying in the grass or swimming in the lake. That is what I needed. Have not had a chance to visit a beach in quite a long time. The beach area was smaller that I would have liked and the water greener then I've seen before, but again, I could be nude at a beach again, so I can live with that. Spent about 3-4 hours there and had a pretty good time. Only thing that would have made it better was to have naturist friends to hang out with and be a part of. All in all definitely liked it, and will go back when I get the chance.

First I'd like to say welcome to Seattle. Howell Beach is a good beach for being in the heart of Seattle but it does get crowded sometimes. I'm glad you found it and were able to enjoy the sun before the rains set in.RickSeattle Capitol Hill

Any other venues, Rick, that are close in? I've been to Denny Blaine & liked it. Have you been to Magnuson or Discovery Park - if so, how was it?
Many years ago I used to go to Scenic Hot Springs but it's quite a drive and I'm leery of going with it requiring reservations.

Wouldn't you be arrested for nudity at these places?
