Seattle is focusing this weekend’s Pride celebration and Sunday’s big downtown parade on inclusion and support for the trans community. Friday night, Volunteer Park again was filled with Seattle’s Trans Pride celebrations while Saturday was all about Capitol Hill and the neighborhood’s long tradition of a Pride street festival on Broadway and parties and beer gardens across Pike/Pine.

Below, you’ll find more scenes from Capitol Hill’s 2025 Pride including Friday night’s Trans Pride Seattle and Saturday’s PrideFest street festival across Broadway, the AIDS Memorial Plaza, and Cal Anderson Park.

CHS reported here on the challenges that have accompanied this year’s Pride from the turmoil in Washington D.C. to frustrations between neighbors and the communities who love Denny Blaine Park. There are also some new faces helping shape Pride in the city.

Sunday, organizers of the Seattle Pride parade called for support for the “T” in LGBTQ.

“At a time when our trans siblings are under attack, we are centering and celebrating them with purpose,” Seattle Pride Executive Director Patti Hearn said. “We want everyone watching — especially trans youth — to know they belong, they are loved, and they have the right to live out loud.”

The weekend marks the city’s 51st celebration of Pride. You can see images from last year’s 50th anniversary celebrations here.
