QTPOCSeattle events
Written By Sapphie Taffy

Looking for local events in Seattle, WA that center folks of color and/or members of the LGBTQ+ community? And specifically for queer POCs? You’re in the right place!

Here are 119+ of the best weekly, monthly, and seasonal events in the Seattle metro area — plus a couple hosted virtually — curated by Yours Truly, a fellow QTPOC and Pacific Northwest local. Some interest groups, culture and nightlife, outdoors, 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 (*)

  • LGBTQ+ events (**)

  • QTBIPOC events (***)

Please contact organizers directly for event details and do your own research to confirm each date. Most calendar and event pages are linked below. This list is independently maintained and continues to be updated! I am not affiliated with any of these organizations, just looking for more opportunities to be in community.
