Celebrating LGBTQ History Month in our own community! Do you know about the queer history in Pioneer Square? This is just a snippet into the expansive history that runs beneath these streets, literally. Prior to the 70s, queer nightlife and culture were confined to underground establishments where police had to be routinely paid off to look the other way. It was a system that was flawed but allowed for queer culture, organizing, and community to bloom. More historical data can be found at OutHis

Did you know that according to the Lesbian Bar Project, there are only 38 lesbian bars remaining nationwide? Spaces like The WildRose Bar continue to hold deep significance as places of history and connection for the sapphic community. So next time you’re on Capitol Hill, stop by, make a new friend, and experience a piece of living history. Happy LGBTQ History Month! 🌹 Video made possible by: Martha Katy Riley Ashley | Seattle Pride
