Seattle welcomes everyone in a city that is safe and friendly to all. Just east of downtown, the Capitol Hill neighborhood has long been the city’s gay epicenter, with rainbow-painted crosswalks and many ways to dive into the LGBTQ scene. Aside from Capitol Hill, there are gay-friend- ly and gay-owned establishments just about everywhere in town. Summer features two annual Pride festivals, while the Seattle Men’s Chorus and Se- attle Women’s Chorus are the largest LGBTQ-identified men’s and women’s choruses in the world. It’s pretty clear that in Seattle, we take pride in every- body.
