Summary
More than 300,000 people joined Seattle Pride on Sunday, marching from Union Street and Fourth Avenue to Seattle Center in one of the nation’s largest LGBTQ+ celebrations.
The 11 a.m. parade ran until about 3 p.m., then flowed into PrideFest at Seattle Center with live entertainment, food vendors, beer gardens and community exhibitors.
Organizers framed this year’s theme, “rally,” as both a celebration of love and inclusivity and a call to continue the fight for LGBTQIA2S+ visibility, justice and acceptance.
Seattle Pride, rooted in activism since 1974, featured local groups, sports teams and elected officials as officials warned of heavy downtown and Capitol Hill crowds and street closures.
