SEATTLE -- The Seattle Parks Board has declined to ban nudity.
The board refused to change its policy at a Thursday night meeting despite a few complaints about naked bike riders and nude swimmers and sunbathers.
KING-TV reports some people saw more than they cared to in July when nude bike riders flashed through several parks. And others were offended by nudists in a Seattle Center fountain.
A police spokesman, Sean Whitcomb, says just being nude is not against the law, but showing yourself naked with the intent to alarm and offend is illegal.
