Seattle's largest parks to close this weekend to slow the spread of COVID-19
Seattle's 15 largest parks and beaches will close this weekend to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus as people have continued to congregate in these spaces, the mayor's office announced Thursday.
The parks will close Friday at 11 p.m. and will remain closed through Monday at 4:30 a.m. The parks included in the order are: Alki, Arboretum, Cal Anderson, Carkeek, Discovery, Gas Works, Green Lake, Golden Gardens, Kubota Garden, Lincoln, Magnuson, Seward, Volunteer, West Seattle Stadium and Woodland.
“These are the beautiful weather days we crave all winter, but we are living in unprecedented times and the Governor’s order isn’t stay out – it's stay home," Mayor Jenny Durkan said in a statement.
"Seattle’s frontline medical workers, vulnerable residents, and displaced workers need you to stay home. While Seattle is expecting near perfect weather, friends and families should not have family or friend outings, picnics or gatherings in parks."
