If you will be on the UW Seattle campus on June 5th, please join us in making thousands of fun buttons to hand out at the parade. Meet us in the Q Center, HUB 315, anytime between 10:30am and 5:30pm, for as long as you have time.
We will be marching alongside UW Medicine, who will also have a booth at PrideFest at Seattle Center. The parade route is 1.75 miles long so please remember to bring water and wear sunscreen.
Both UW and UW Medicine will also be participating in Trans* Pride Seattle on the evening of Friday, June 26th in Capitol Hill. Trans* Pride Seattle starts with a march. We will assemble at the courtyard north of Seattle Central College for the march, beginning at 5:00pm. At 6:00pm the march will proceed down Broadway towards Pike Street where it will turn left, march east on Pike Street and then left onto 11th. The march will end with a rally and celebration in Cal Anderson Park.
