Tour Description:
Discover the hidden queer history of Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood on a one-hour walking tour with experienced guide, Michael Langberg. As we stroll through the streets, we will explore the landmarks, bars, and community centers that played a vital role in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and equality. From the early days of Seattle to the present day, we will uncover the rich history of Seattle’s queer community and the important role that Capitol Hill has played in this ongoing story. Join us for a journey through the stories and legacies that have made this neighborhood such an important part of our shared queer history.
