RE: Pullman public nudity law??



Debbie, et al.-

I investigated that issue on July 5 when I spoke with a Pullman city 
attorney who identified herself as "Karen." She told me that Pullman does 
not have a municipal ordinance to cover public nudity, but that it complies 
with Revised Code of Washington #9A.88 instead.  (Link attached) To me, it 
reads much like Moscow's pre-1998 version that was deemed constitutionally 
unenforceable.

It is important to emphasize that a rallying point for opposing this 
ordinance is that one can logically be in opposition without endorsing 
public nudity. One need not be on the political fringe to see the flaws in 
the wording.

Does anyone know what the law is (or if there is one) regarding this same
subject in Pullman?

Curious,

Indecent exposure.
(1) A person is guilty of indecent exposure if he or she intentionally makes any open and obscene exposure of his or her person or the person of another knowing that such conduct is likely to cause reasonable affront or alarm. The act of breastfeeding or expressing breast milk is not indecent exposure.

     (2) Indecent exposure is a misdemeanor unless such person exposes himself or herself to a person under the age of fourteen years in which case indecent exposure is a gross misdemeanor on the first offense and, if such person has previously been convicted under this subsection or of a sex offense as defined in RCW 9.94A.030, then such person is guilty of a class C felony punishable under chapter 9A.20 RCW.
