Some Seattle beaches will close early this summer in an effort to reduce illegal activity

The beaches will close at 10:30 p.m. this summer, one hour earlier than usual. In the fall, the department will decide if they will make the early closure permanent.

Some? You mean our one beach?

So to reduce bank robberies, banks will only be open for 4 hours per day. That will reduce crime.

3 incidents in 2 years and some say close the beaches. Fear is not an excuse to impede liberties. This is tragic and a slippery slope.

Welcome to the land of free.

Seattle has beaches??

[@halfbreed3056]

Merle Edwards Park there's a little sand beach there about 40 ft across 🤣

I think it’s a good idea to keep people safe. ❤I have enjoyed a few overnight bonfire parties on some good beaches though.😘

[@ghostnappa2311]

Lol they might as well just ask the people of Washington nicely to not trash the place because just closing it is the equivalent to that. Why do you think it gets messed up in the first place? People will alwsys do what they want.

I’m sure criminals will honor that rule 😂

Quite your whining people this is what you voted for Elections have consequences!

[@reneechristine9942]

Lmao. That’s just going to cause more issues and give the crooks more time to who made that decision? They shouldn’t be employed there anymore. You need someone who has better ideas to deter crime. Just sayin

I'm sooo glad they're going to close the beach, it's sooo much safer with RVs get a free 72 hours to chill out and cook meth while the homeless does smack across the street. Thanks government man, fanfuckingtastic

This is exactly what happens when you vote anything Democrat.

[@SeanJoseW]

The f you there at night anyways. Not to mention this is a policeing matter being we can't respond quickly or at all

[@kevinwees5707]

They should close the Seattle beaches permanently. Seattle beaches are no longer safe anymore.
