Plan your Pride!

May 09, 2025 | Seattle Pride

Whether you’re jetting in for the festivities or turning your staycation into a celebration, we’ve rounded up some of the best LGBTQIA2S+ owned and friendly spots to sleep, sip, and soak up all that Seattle Pride has to offer. 

Where to Stay 

If being in the heart of the action is your vibe, the W Seattle is your front-row seat to the Seattle Pride Parade, and trust, it’s as plush as it is close. For a more boutique feel, check into The Sound Hotel, where modern style meets Seattle flair in the best way. Of course, if you’re crashing with your college bestie from your UW days, that counts too. Just make sure they’re down for all the fun! 

How to Get Around 

Good news: Seattle is a breeze to navigate. Most bars, restaurants, and events are within walking distance. For those longer hauls, Sound Transit is your go-to: relax, ride, and skip the traffic stress. Feeling spontaneous? Hop on a Lime scooter or bike and cruise the city in style. Use code SEAPRIDE25 for $5 off your first ride. (Helmets recommended, glitter optional.) 

Where to Eat & Drink

Fuel up before the fun. Harry’s Fine Foods is a must for a chic, cozy dinner, think seasonal menus, locally sourced ingredients, and cocktails you’ll want to write home about. Not in the mood for a meal and just want to sip something fabulous? Swing by Browne Family Vineyards and treat yourself to the Seattle Flight! A colorful lineup featuring a white, a rosé, a light-bodied red, and a bold, full-bodied red. Best part? $10 from every flight sold in June goes to support Seattle Pride! Craving something lowkey but still delicious? Head to Nacho Borracho for frozen drinks, loaded tacos, and an all-around party vibe. Pro tip: this spot goes off on weekends. And for serious noodle lovers, Biang Biang Noodle House is a local gem. Their hand-pulled noodles are the stuff of legends. 

Where to Party 

Once you’re fed and fabulous, it’s time to hit the town. Capitol Hill is the heartbeat of queer nightlife in Seattle, and there’s truly something for everyone. Start slow with a drink at Union, then make your way downtown to The Crocodile for a live show, or dive straight into dancing at Wildrose, one of the longest-running lesbian bar in the country. It’s iconic for a reason. 

Pace Yourself, Babe 

Pride is a celebration—and a marathon. Hydrate, take breaks, and don’t forget to revel in the joy of community. Whether you’re dancing ‘til sunrise or soaking it all in with a scenic city view, we hope your Seattle Pride stay is unforgettable.
