Tons of photos after the jump…
And, never forget, there’s ALWAYS A JUGGALO, FAMILY 4-EVA, LURKING SOMEWHERE. Always.

Well, now I don’t gotta wonder where the sexy people at.
As a musosociologist, can you explain to me how the ICP phenomenon has survived this long? I can usually get most musical cul de sacs, but that one’s always had me flummoxed.
It’s illegal to go swimming at night. What a police state.
Thank you for the delightful wake-up. It is going well with my tea.

Have you actually tried? Nobody is going to call the cops on you unless you’re loud. Also, you might die. The grim reaper is the ultimate police officer.
@2:
Sam: “You know Max, in America it’s customary to drive on the right side of the road.”
Max: “It’s turning into a goddamn police state, Sam!”
More of #1 please.
Note the lack of fatties.
This is what you miss when you don’t take care of yourself.
Hello, Photo No. 1. Would you like some color guard on your tats?
ignavis semper feriae sunt.
Photo #1 – the guy in the red swim suit talking to his tattoo artist on the handsfree – needs to be my boyfriend. Please seize him and bring him to me at once. Thank you.
@TYU45: Hey, now, don’t be silly. ‘Fatties’ don’t have to miss out, least of all going to the beach on the hottest day of the year. You think only skinny gorgeous people go to the beach? Or that we are too consumed with self-esteem issues and can’t bear the thought of being seen without spanx and an all black outfit? I’m 30 pounds overweight and rocked my two-piece at Madison Beach with the best of them. And if anyone was disappointed I wasn’t another hunk of flesh to ogle, fuck ’em.
For the past few weeks before the heat wave I’ve been swimming out there at night with friends. It’s been so much fun! One night after we got there and started taking off our clothes there were about 5 other people who joined us and also stripped – all I can say is that swimming naked at night is fun. There was a straight boy that joined us in his boxers and I can’t get him out of my friggin’ head – super friendly and super hot. Don’t get me started…
Let this be a clarion call to the entire nation that anyone who is this side of Quasimodo or has a fashion sense even slightly above Little Edie Beale should move to Seattle immediately in order to be considered one of the sexiest people in town.
I will admit there are at least two actually attractive people in these photos, but, as they say, even a city full of faces that could stop a clock is right twice a day.
Because drowning incidents are up this week, for starters.
So… I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade but I got a text this morning from a friend saying she went to swim in Lake Washington and there were, quote, “dead fish” in the water. Does this make sense to anyone? Did she pick the wrong swimming hole or what?
Perhaps the real backboard is the eventual digression into cheap jokes and ugly pictures of comedy impersonators and massage therapists with truth delaying forwards…?
….then again, I’ll believe that the madrigal box score and the “serves you back ” your empty platter from the ‘larger’ New York minute captured and redirected to a smaller view of the Presidential Beer Garden plays better this year on the front page of ” The Wall Street Journal ” than your boston kruk tag all over creation.
Here’s to Kelly O and his/her picture splash.
P.s. maybe police teeth should rename one of their songs something “other’ than a number… that’s for d.j **cking in the streets. :)lol.
@15, I saw that mentioned in a blog post on seattlepi.com…

There are a ton o’ fatties at Madison Beach. They’re on the little kid/family (south) side. Last week there was a family of morbidly obese women and kids wearing identical t-shirts reading: “PROTECT TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE.”
SORDID COLLECTION OF NASTY WHITE BIRTCHES WITH BELLY BUTTON PIERCINGS ≠ SEXY, = FAIL.
GO SNUFFLATE SOME DRAIN-O SEATTLE!
Is that the lake where Ted Bundy used to hang out?
There have been dead fish in Lake Washington since I can remember, which is starting 25 years ago. No biggie. Swim around! But you can’t avoid the duck itch.
The light in the fifth photo from the bottom is cool, it makes the people (especially the girl) look like flat cardboard cut-outs. All really great photos, cool to see ’em.
I used to jump off the fishing piers.
Can’t recall anyone ever arresting me.
I mean, if you get drunk and make a lot of noise, sure, but a quick dip is always ok.
>SORDID COLLECTION OF NASTY WHITE BIRTCHES WITH BELLY BUTTON PIERCINGS ≠ SEXY, = FAIL.
I counted five (5) navel novelties. One (1) was on a dude. Of the four belley tagged BIRTCHES, two (2) were definitely at least mostly asiatic, one (1) might have been Latina, only one (1) was definitely white.
I have no idea how many of them were nasty.
I think you’re viewing the scene with hate goggles, you troll.
Girl with black retro two piece standing between chads:
Please marry me
Those are some pretty, pretty people. Not only that, but there’s a lot of joy there. Awesome.
By the way, is this fatty allowed to swim at your beach if I wear a shirt that reads “I SUPPORT MARRIAGE EQUALITY”? ‘Cause I do.
Aren’t dead fish supposed to be in Lake Washington? I mean, where else would they be?
Stripey butt makes me tingle.
All the nubile flesh makes me light-headed.
don’t these people have jobs?
Is #6 a sugardaddy or a chickenhawk?
Where are the curves and hips at? A few of these girls have booties but most of them are like sticks. The cheeks with the thong between them? Yum.
