Seattle to close major parks at 8 p.m. to prevent nighttime gatherings
Seattle's major parks will close at 8 p.m. each night beginning Friday to prevent gatherings in the parks at night, the city announced this week.
The move to close parks at night was made to further discourage people from holding bonfires, BBQs or parties as the weather is expected to reach 80 degrees heading into the weekend.
“This weekend is Mother’s Day and I want to remind everyone – the best thing you can do for your mother or grandmother is stay home. Please do not gather at our parks” Mayor Jenny Durkan said in a statement.
“We are not out of the woods, and we owe it to our moms and grandmas to fight COVID-19 with the only tool we have: social distancing.”
