Gay City is working to compile a fuller description of their accessibility. They are considered ADA, but the doors are not automatic, and to go from the auditorium to the bathroom means either leaving and then entering through another door or two small steps. All the bathrooms are unisex. They are not scent free, but we encourage attendees to not wear scents or smoke before entering. Though we highly encourage clean donations, we can not guarantee the clothing to be scent/chemical free. Please contact us with any questions.
–Queer & Trans Clothing Exchange Seattle
—————————————————————————-
The Seattle Queer and Trans Clothing Exchange is a biannual event held at Gay City in Capitol Hill open to all members of the LGBTQ community. We aim to provide a safe, welcoming environment to get gently used clothing at low or no cost.
While there are current Trans clothing exchanges, the reach of their collection efforts can be very limited. It can be especially difficult to bring in a wide range of sizes and styles with a limited donation pool.
Any leftover items from the exchange will be stored for future events or disseminated amongst pre-existing groups and other local organizations that collect clothing for their clients. All money raised will be used to ensure the continuation of the event, with any extra being directed to organizations working with the Seattle Trans community.
