Letter: Allow nudity in state parks

Nudity should be legal in state parks. In 190 words, I’ll explain why. I haven’t been a nudist my whole life, but tried nude sunbathing last summer and loved it. My memories are of the warm summer sun touching my entire body, the ease of not needing a swimsuit, and about a thousand gallons of sunscreen. The experiences I had with nudists were really friendly ones. They had families, jobs, and were of right and sound mind. I wanted to be nude a little closer to home, so I checked to see if nudity was legal in state parks. Nudity actually is explicitly illegal in state parks.

I disagreed with the law, so I wrote my representatives in the Legislature. Nothing happened. I have a little money to spend, so I started my own organization. It’s called www.NudeParksWA.com. It’s a nonprofit, political action organization. Our goal is legal nudity in state parks. My friends and I just want to lose some clothes for a day on a sunny day in the 80s. That’s it. Think about us. Know about us. That’s all we ask.
