A September to Remember: Events for LGBTQ+, BIPOCs, and Queer POCs in Seattle

Written By Sapphie Taffy

Hi Sweets, hope you had a decadent and sunshine-filled August! The last few weeks have been pretty busy with work — and a friend’s beautiful PNW wedding, so I didn’t make it to many QTPOC events in Seattle.

But, I planned some much needed days off this month… and am happily posting this from Atlanta — where I have serendipitously landed during Black Pride Weekend! More on that soon…

And then I’ll be heading to Palm Springs for Dinah Shore in a couple weeks?! It’s still sinking in. So we’ve got some exciting things to round out the summer :) and I’m feeling pretty grateful. Message me if you want to meet up! #QTPOC4QTPOC

Anyway, summer is still in full swing this week, but cooler weather is just around the corner. So grab those sexy shorts and summer sandals and go check out a few of these awesome September events in Seattle, including:

  • BIPOC events (*)

  • LGBTQ+ events (**)
