Because of continued gatherings in major parks and crowded public places, the City of Seattle announced today (Thursday) the full closure of major regional parks this weekend where social distancing guidelines have not been followed by patrons. Effective Friday, April 10th at 11pm with parksm reopening on Monday, April 12 at 4:30 am.
No common sense even during a pandemic!? Officials knew warmer weather was expected since before the beginning of this week and yet did nothing until yesterday, after scads of people started showing up at area parks! The local news showed various parks and of course Alki beach loaded with people out enjoying the 60+ temps and sunshine.
I'm still trying to figure out why the closure didn't take effect immediately...
