Your QUEER Northwest

EQUALITY, ACCESS, And RESPECT For all!

At Queer NW, we strive to not only represent the LGBTQ+ community, it is our mission and core values to have a seat for everyone that represents a different identity. That is why our board development is always evolving. We believe in inclusion, yet creating safe spaces for people from different intersects to have their own time and space dedicated to them.

Queer Journalism

ALL AGES

Queer Journalism is all about sharing the news and events that are happening in our community. It is designed to teach and improve writing skills so that we can have our lives recorded and shared, that way, we are never erased in history again.

Queer Network

All ages

Queer Northwest is being built to be the hub of all things lgbtq+ related in the Pacific Northwest. Based in Tacoma, WA Queer Northwest digitally serves the entire region including Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. In-person programming is primarily based in Tacoma, but we do support Seattle and Portland, too.

Dining With Pride

All Ages

Dining with Pride is our on-going fundraiser that brings the community together over a meal. With the help of participating restaurants, Dining with Pride raises money by a portion of each check being donated to Queer NW. In part, we give some of the funds to local charities that are advancing access and equity for the LGBTQ+ community.

In Face: A History of Drag

All ages

In 2020, Queer NW was awarded the Tacoma Art Grant to create a live show that would reproduce historical representation of the art of female impersonation. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a live show was forced to be adapted into a website built for the history of female impersonation and in November of 2020, the website was launched. It will continue to serve and grow more as information is given to fill in more gaps.
