Welcome...

Welcome...

from the Mayor On behalf of the City of Seattle, welcome to the Emerald City! Seattle is a vibrant travel destination committed to providing a wide range of entertainment and recreation activities for the LGBTQ community.

Whether you are visiting the many shops and r estaurants of Capitol Hill, str olling along the beach at Alki, or exploring Pike Place Market, you’ll find the spirit of Seattle’s commitment to diversity and equality all ar ound you. FunMaps will be your guide to the many restaurants, shopping centers, and hotel accommodations and services that have made a commitment to the LGBT community, and I encourage you to explor e them all.

You’ll find Seattle to be a welcoming and exciting city. Thank you for visiting us and enjoy your stay!

Sincerely,

Mayor Edward B. Murray City of Seattle

Greetings... from the President & CEO Welcome to Seattle!

This city of fers a sophisticated, thriving urban cor e surr ounded by pristine wilder ness and abundant outdoor r ecreation. But, mor e than a destination, Seattle is an experience and we invite LGBTQ travelers to be a part of it.

Renew yourself in the city wher e “new” is constantly r e-defined. See a play at a local theater - befor e it’s seen on Br oadway. Take a stroll through the famous Pike Place Market to experience Seattle’ s culinary bounty .

Sample cutting-edge cuisine at surr ounding r estaurants, wher e creative, sometimes daring chefs pair their cr eations with internationally acclaimed Washington wines.

Explore a colorful mix of neighborhoods mingling among the city’s hills and waterways, fr om r egal Queen Anne to funky Fremont. While Seattle’ s LGBTQ community is integrated throughout the city , its highest concentration of businesses is on Capitol Hill.

Take an excursion. Seattle is the gateway to the Pacific Northwest, surrounded by Puget Sound and fr esh water lakes, two mountain ranges and three national parks.

Get married. W ashington State voters appr oved this state’ s marriage equality law in 2012 and Mayor Ed Murray – Seattle’s first openly gay mayor who r ecently married his long-time partner – eagerly joined Visit Seattle and Seattle’s tourism community to help launch our Marry Me in Seattle campaign.

It’s all here, waiting to be experienced. W e’re proud to welcome you to Seattle.

Enjoy your visit!

from the GSBA Beautiful and welcoming are words often used when visitors describe their time in Seattle.

Whether you are visiting for the first or fiftieth time, you’ll want to use this map as a guide to stop in and enjoy the wonderful businesses in FunMaps. FunMaps includes businesses that especially welcome the LGBT community and those committed to support businesses that support equality for all.

Seattle makes an art out of everything – whether you her e to use Seattle as a base before going of f to the snow-capped mountains or the rugged coastline; whether you want an urban experience of enjoying incredible cuisine, W ashington wines, craft cocktails fr om local distilleries; whether sipping world-r enowned cof fee while people watching from the cafes that dot every block – you have come to the best city . Fr om the Seattle Storm, Seattle Reign, Sounders and Seahawks, Seattleites love their sports the way they love everything, sprinkled with diversity and uniqueness. After a day of gazing at Mt. Rainier and grazing at Pike Place Market, you’ll want to make sur e you leave time for the nightlife, with theater, ballet, opera, symphony and a music and bar scene that of fers something for everyone.

Perhaps that sums up Seattle best – it is the city for everyone.

Equality is not a new concept for Seattle, the city that boasts the largest LGBT chamber of commerce in the country, GSBA, which has promoted equality in business for over 33 years. Welcome to Seattle!

For equality,

Louise Chernin

GSBA President & CEO

hat you’ll first notice about Seattle is a spectacular view .

Snow-capped mountains, sparkling waters and lush, green forests surround this “Emerald City”, located between the salt waters of Puget Sound and the fresh-water Lake Washington.

The best way to discover Seattle is by visiting the 605-foot high Space Needle observation deck. Left over fr om the 1962 W orld’s Fair, this landmark of fers a 360-degr ee view of the city and beyond. Seattle’ s downtown skyline boasts one of the tallest buildings west of the Mississippi. Expand your view and include the seven hills upon which the city is built, the shimmering waters of Elliott Bay and in the backgr ound, the beautiful slopes of Mount Rainier.

Seattle is comprised of several “neighborhoods,” each with its own attractions and r easons for visiting. Although the gr eatest concentration of gay activity is on Capitol Hill, gays and lesbians integrate easily into every day city life.

Pike Place Market, a century-old structure housing fish and food markets, inter esting specialty shops and eateries, of fers a browser’s paradise. The Market, built on a steep hill, spills under the highway to the waterfront and its mile-and-a-half of piers and attractions. The attractions include Seattle Harbor boat-tours and the Seattle Aquarium.

The Seattle Center is the 74-acr e cultural and entertainment heart of Seattle, featuring outdoor music stages, festivals and other activities.

Don’t miss the “cruisy views” from the tower in Volunteer Park or on a stroll along Broadway and through Capitol Hill.

Seattle is the perfect place to cr eate an adventur e, refresh the spirit, relax and make friends. W elcome to the Emerald City on the shimmering shores of Elliott Bay. 6

Seattle Nightlife

ot many cities this size can boast that they foster a true local music scene that is known inter nationally, but Seattle does. At haunts like The Cr ocodile, Showbox, Comet T avern, Rebar or the T riple Door , a thriving music scene pulses every night of the week. Many small venues give you an intimate seat for the next Nirvana. But If LIVE music is not your cup of tea, Seattle crawls with craft cocktails up and down the hills in local haunts that run the gamut fr om Dive to Diva -- dank and dark or creative and clean-lined moder n spaces where you can weather any storm. The gay and lesbian scene congregates primarily on Capitol Hill and you will find most of the new mainstr eam editions welcome people from all walks of life.

Lumbersexuals, bears, twinks, muscle marys, cir cuit queens, leather daddies and dandies work their unique styles of fashion or fetish S&M behind the doors of these venues which cater to all “50 Shades of Gay,” and all within walking distance so you can feast on mor e than one victim nightly. Rest up; you’ve got your work cut out for you!

Get Married In Seattle

I

n Seattle, we believe you should be able to marry whomever you want.

The atmospher e of acceptance makes Seattle a perfect wedding destination—if you can’ t get married in your city , we’ll make sure you can get married in ours. On November 6, 2012, W ashington State voted to appr ove Refer endum 74, which legalized same-sex marriage. Since that victory , LGBTQ couples have flocked to Seattle to say “I do,” and Visit Seattle could not be happier to assist them.

So what does this mean for you? Y ou’ve found the perfect partner, now plan the perfect Seattle wedding. Fr om dazzling wedding venues to top-rated cater ers, our complete list of LGBTQ-friendly r esources will help you find everything you need to make your dr eam wedding come true—with special hotel packages just for LGBTQ couples. V isit 2daysinseattle.com/marryme for information about Washington’s marriage law and applying for marriage licenses, as well as wedding planning resources in Seattle such as florists, bakeries, music and mor e.

1 2 After the cer emony, stick ar ound to explor e! While Seattle’ s LGBTQ community is integrated throughout the city, Capitol Hill is the heart of Seattle’s gay scene—a historical hub of gay and gayfriendly businesses, bars, r estaurants and clubs. Its eclectic nightlife and central location make the Hill the perfect place for an exciting night on the town, or an intimate evening for two.

Or br eak away fr om the bustling city by taking an outdoor excursion. Seattle is the gateway to the scenic Pacific Northwest, surrounded by fr esh water lakes and the Puget Sound, two mountain ranges and thr ee national parks. Spend the day climbing a mountain, wandering a rainforest, or skiing the slopes, then be back downtown by dinnertime.

Enjoy the region’s bounty of fresh seafood and local produce by tasting your way through the iconic Pike Place Market. Indulge in an array of cutting-edge cuisine fr om some of the country’ s top chefs, pairing your meal with inter nationally-acclaimed wines from Washington’s burgeoning wine region.

It’s all her e, waiting for you to experience. Come visit Seattle, we are excited and proud to welcome you here.
