Washington Hall is fully wheelchair accessible, including bathrooms. We will be on the first floor this time. Some makeshift changing spaces may not be, but we will do our best to make as many of them as accessible as possible. Unfortunately, we can’t control for scent with the clothes, but the venue uses unscented soap and cleaning products. Bathrooms are gender neutral. There is limited disabled and non-disabled parking behind the building. It is one block from the 27 bus, 2 blocks from the First Hill Streetcar, 3, and 4 busses, and 4 blocks from the 7, 9, 14, and 106.

The Seattle Queer and Trans Clothing Exchange is a biannual event open to all members of the LGBTQ community. We aim to provide a safe, welcoming environment to get gently used clothing at 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 small donation pool.
Any leftover items from the exchange will be stored for future events or disseminated amongst pre-existing groups and local LGBTQ-serving shelters 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.
