Summer is almost here, last weekend, temperatures climbed into the 80s throughout the Puget Sound area. And for many, warm temperatures mean trips to the beach and swims in Lake Washington.

Heading out to swim this past weekend was extra sweet for some beachgoers: the community at Denny Blaine, a beach popular with Seattle’s queer community. It’s one of a handful of spots in the city where folks say they feel safe picnicking, swimming, and sunbathing in the buff.

But last fall, the beach faced an unusual threat: a playground funded by an anonymous donor.
