Rules, as cited

Leash rule: Off-leash only inside the designated, fenced off-leash area. The official Seattle page says dogs must be on a leash at all times unless inside the boundaries of a designated off-leash area, and that dogs are not allowed at any time on beaches in Seattle parks under the Seattle Municipal Code — except this official off-leash area has Lake Washington water access.

• The official Seattle Parks dog off-leash-areas page says the Magnuson off-leash area contains 8.6 acres and is the only off-leash area inside city limits with water access (Lake Washington’s freshwater shoreline). It is fully fenced and includes a small- and shy-dog area.
• The same page says dogs are not allowed at any time on organized athletic fields, beaches, or children's play areas in Seattle parks, and must be on a leash at all times unless inside a designated off-leash area.
• This listing is only the official Magnuson off-leash area shoreline, not Golden Gardens Beach or other Seattle bathing beaches. The Golden Gardens off-leash area is in the upper park, not on the saltwater beach.
