Help document LGBTQIA2S+ history in Western Washington!
Many of these stories risk being lost unless we gather them together. That is why the Washington State Department of Archaeology & Historic Preservation (DAHP) is leading a project aiming to record LGBTQIA2S+ places, stories, and memories across Western Washington.
LGBTQIA2S+ history is not always written in textbooks or marked by plaques. It is found in everyday places: A former bar or gathering spot. A protest route or organizational headquarters The home of a q***r activist or artist. By identifying and sharing these places, we take steps to make our history more visible and valued for future generations to know we were here.
