Help Shape Seattle Pride 2025
Share your theme ideas and nominate the next grand marshal
By Sarah Stackhouse October 18, 2024
Know anyone who embodies the spirit of Pride? Seattle Pride is calling on the community to submit theme ideas and grand marshal nominations for the 2025 Seattle Pride Parade through Feb. 28, 2025.
According to the organization, “Theme ideas should reflect the heart and soul of the LGBTQIA+ movement, embracing the diversity and intersectionality of the community.” Submissions can include “a powerful phrase, a symbol of unity, or an ode to resilience,” serving as a beacon of hope and visibility. Share your theme ideas via the online form.
Seattle Pride is also looking for nominations for grand marshal, the ceremonial leader of the parade. Nominees can be individuals or organizations who exemplify leadership, queer representation, and advocacy. “We are asking our community for input so we can identify a grand marshal who reflects the Pride spirit and has made a lasting impact for Seattle’s queer community,” says Seattle Pride Executive Director Patti Hearn. Submit your nominations through the online form.
Past grand marshals have included figures such as WNBA legend Sue Bird, soccer star Megan Rapinoe, actor George Takei, and two-time RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon.
Seattle Pride (Seattle Out & Proud Foundation) is a nonprofit organization that puts on the Seattle Pride Parade, Seattle Pride in the Park, and other Pride-related events. October is LGBTQIA+ History Month. For more information about upcoming Pride events and celebrations, check out the Fall/Winter 24-25 edition of Seattle Pride Magazine.

On November 28, Seattle’s Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) is turning a lens on another form of cycling with its latest exhibition, Kickstands Up! 125…
The E-Bike That Saved Our Mornings
A simple shift in the school commute turned into the best part of the day.
Ah, the dreaded school morning, when getting your kids out the door is a Herculean effort. Sometimes it feels like getting them to eat breakfast, brush teeth, and get dressed is harder than moving a rock uphill. But never—not once—since we got an e-bike have our kids not wanted to hop on and zoom off…
Are Women More Trusting?
Not so much...
Who to trust is a daily decision, and those decision-making moments present themselves so often that we may not realize we’re making them. When someone speaks to me in a line waiting for a movie, I generally don’t think they are secretly planning to steal my purse. When someone gives me directions, I don’t think…
