Cal Anderson Park

Seattle LGBTQ Bars Just Won a Major Victory After Liquor Board Raids | Eater Seattle

"I note the contrast highlighted by the controversy: in Seattle public nudity faces few local restrictions, so you can play frisbee in Cal Anderson Park wearing only a G-string, yet WAC 314-11-050 forbids similar attire in venues serving alcohol, creating an inconsistency that the raids and ensuing debate brought into sharp relief." - Harry Cheadle

"Capitol Hill's Cal Anderson Park Cal Anderson Park (named after Washington's first openly gay legislator) is located at the Pike/Pine nexus of gay-friendly, hipster-filled Capitol Hill. With plenty of grassy lawns for picnics, reading, or playing bocce ball, it's no surprise that crowds flock here whenever there's a sunny day anytime of year. It's also conveniently located near some great shops and restaurants: Molly Moon Ice Cream, Rock Box karaoke, Cure, Cupcake Royale, Unicorn, Elliott Bay Book Company, Everyday Music, and all the cheap eats on Broadway. Grab some takeout or a coffee to go and head to the park to admire the fountain or enjoy some people-watching. On Sundays, the Broadway Farmers Market is just a block away on Broadway."
