I just saw a report on KOMO that Lincoln Park, Alki Beach and the West Seattle Stadium are closed today due to CoronaVirus crowd concerns. Is that what you are seeing too?

No, that would be wrong. Gas Works Park is closed today but those three parks are ^closing at 8 pm nightly* now (as we reported on Sat).

  Looks like it was so overcrowded yesterday that they closed them for today. So folks will just crowd into apartments and back yard bbqs instead.

    No, they did NOT close any West Seattle parks for today. Only Gasworks. As another commenter has noted, the TV website has corrected its error, now saying: “An earlier report that most major Seattle parks would be closed for the day was in error.”
