QTPOCSeattle events
Written By Sapphie Taffy

Looking for local events in Seattle, WA that center the 2SLGBTQIA+ community (especially sapphics) and people of the global majority? You’re in the right place :)

Here are 177+ of the best weekly, monthly, and seasonal events in the Seattle metro area! Plus a few virtual goodies sprinkled in. A community events list built over many months by Yours Truly, a fellow QTPOC from the Pacific Northwest.

Discover new interest groups, culture and nightlife, outdoor activities, health and fitness, arts and crafts, coworking, live music, kink, dating events, and more. Hope you find something new to check out! This page is focused on:

  • BIPOC events (*)

  • 2SLGBTQIA+ events (**)

  • QTBIPOC events (***)

Please contact organizers directly for event details and do your own research to confirm each instance. Most calendar and event pages are linked below. These lists are independently maintained and continue to be updated! I am not affiliated with any of the organizations, just looking for more opportunities to be in community.
