Summary
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell sent text messages to philanthropist Stuart Sloan expressing mutual disgust for the nudity and "sub-group" of people at Denny Blaine Park, leading to a collaboration to "clean up" the park. Despite Harrell's denial of knowledge about Sloan's donation for a playground, their text exchanges and meetings suggest otherwise, as they discussed strategies to address nudity and lewd activities at the park.
