Each year, Seattle Pride draws massive numbers of locals and tourists alike. But where can you go if you’re not feeling the muscly-cis-white-male-torsos-in-corporate-sponsored-beer-gardens version of the holiday?

Enjoy the alternative side of Pride! Here are some events for those seeking POC-representative, trans+, geeky, youth-friendly, ASL, and/or queer af spaces.

Note: Age requirements noted when known. 21+ venues require legal valid identification.

Queer-er options for Thursday and Friday, June 22/23, 2017 are below. Saturday/Sunday options will be posted separately.
