Capitol City Pride all set to celebrate Pride Weekend in style on June 12 & 13! Portland’s Pride Northwest will boogie down the following weekend on June 19 & 20!
Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it, too? The Smart LGBT Set knows you can party pridefully in Olympia on the weekend of June 12/13, then do it all over again in Portland on June 19/20, before wrapping up the month on the weekend of the 26/27th in Seattle…then, you get a whole month or so to rest up before heading up to Vancouver, B.C. for their festivities on August 1. Then, you can head off for a little rehab to detox from all that fun…
