I also live in WA. Many parks (except playgrounds) are officially opened, but the parking lots are mostly closed. See [1] for:
> "Mayor Jenny Durkan’s office announced Thursday that the city will allow major parks to remain open through the weekend [...] Parking lots at larger parks will remain closed, and additional rules are in place for Green Lake, Seward Park, Alki Beach, and Golden Gardens such as no fire pits or picnics, no gatherings or beach activities, and loop trails remain open to pedestrian use only. You'll also notice new signage at Seattle parks about social distancing and the #KeepItMoving initiative. Seattle Parks and Recreation will also be deploying 60 new "Social Distancing Ambassadors" at major parks who will remind people to socially distance."
I've gone to some parks to walk my dog, and you have to park in the surrounding neighborhood instead of the big parking lot at the park, which puts additional strain on the community. It's kind of weird, but entirely legal and within the established rules.
The weather in Seattle is ridiculously nice right now. I'm going to go skateboarding this afternoon, somewhere that won't be filled with sand by self-righteous assholes.
