The Rainier Beach neighborhood celebrated the opening of Detective Cookie Chess Park over the weekend. Named in honor of 35-year Seattle Police Department detective veteran Denise “Cookie” Bouldin, the park pays homage to the detective’s passion for chess and features a large chess board and built-in chess tables. Back in 2006, Bouldin brought chess to Rainier Beach Community Center and Rainier Beach Library, and years later, the Detective Cookies Urban Youth Chess Club has taught thousands of youth chess skills and the art of strategy and patience.
