Seattle Unveils Its First Gay/Lesbian Visitors Guide
I’ve gotta say, this burg on Puget Sound does makes for a swell vacation visit, with a spectacular setting and cool spots to visit like Pioneer Square, Underground Seattle, Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and the nearby San Juan islands. Furthermore, in the United States it pretty much doesn’t get any gay-friendlier, with progressives in charge and plenty of queer nightspots to choose from, both around Capitol Hill and elsewhere.
So it’s a just a wee bit odd that it took the tourism folks hereabouts this long to come up with an “official” LGBT visitor’s guide. But hey, better late than never. Done in partnership with the local fag rag Mo Magazine, and being distributing as of the past several weeks, the full-color 30-page guide has plenty of good info, listings, and maps. Just leafing through it made me realize, I’ve gotta do a post on Seattle real soon!
In the meantime, check out the Seattle CVB’s homo page and request a printed LGBT visitor’s guide at www.VisitSeattle.org/visitors/lgbt, or check the guide out online at http://MoSeattle.com.
