Seattle City Hall Announces Pride Flag Ceremony For June 1st

April 19, 2026• byMichael Strangeways

Well, a nice change after 4 years of former mayor Bruce Harrell’s City Hall half assing the annual raising of the Seattle LGBTQ+ Pride Flag over City Hall…our new mayor, Katie Wilson’s team is on the ball and they’ve already announced the time and date for this year’s ceremony and it’s only April! The previous administration usually couldn’t be bothered to announce until the day before it happened! This year’s flag raising happens June 1st at Noon! More below:

Join the Seattle LGBTQ Commission, Mayor Katie B. Wilson, members of Seattle City Council, and community partners as we gather for the Seattle Pride Flag Raising and Pride Month Proclamation.
As queer rights, specifically trans rights, are under attack across the country, its more important now than ever for Seattle’s leadership to affirm that Seattle is and always will be a safe place for our 2SLGBTQIA+ community to live, work, and thrive.
This year will be extra special- the commission will be honoring our community by giving out two awards: one to an individual community leader who is working hard everyday to ensure LGBTQ Seattleites are safe, and one to a local Queer organization.
Join us on Monday, June 1st at 12:00pm at City Hall.
We can’t wait to see you there!
