The Seattle LGBTQ+ Center celebrates over 30 years of building resilience and joy in our LGBTQ communities.

In 1995, a group of community activists launched what is today Seattle’s LGBTQ+ Center with a bold vision of building a community stronger than HIV while centering queer voices. This mission evolved in the 2000s when the organization introduced its Wellness Center, Arts Programs, and established a physical space where all LGBTQ people could be themselves.

Today, the Center remains the leading community-based HIV/STI tester in King County, home to several LGBTQ-affirming services, and provides access to several diverse resources. The organization is also an active force in queer youth engagement and provides LGBTQ-centered trainings that address the needs of the most marginalized people within our community.
