Nudity in public is legal in Seattle so long as your intent is not to offend.

I didn't check but I think there are lots of places where it is not legal.

I see you edited https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35495960 to mention social norms after I commented.

Locality and social norms definitely play into this conversation, here in Seattle at least there is a culture that supports nudism, whether it's the summer solstice bike ride, certain beaches that are popular for swimming in your birthday suit, etc.

Also some western and southern European nations.

I've seen art students making life drawings in a city square, for example.
