Background and Analysis:
Olympia has a long history of celebrating and supporting the diversity of all its citizens and visitors. 28 years ago, Capital City Pride organized the first small town Pride outside of Seattle and has continued its annual celebration since. The City, its employees, elected officials, citizens, places of business and visitors enthusiastically participate in Pride festivities every year. In 2011, the City of Olympia was recognized with a Key Community Partner Award. Proclaiming the third weekend in June as Capital Pride Weekend continues the City’s support and celebration of the LGBTQ community.
