Lambert House Youth Pride Drop-In on Saturday, June 27th
Date: Saturday, June 27th
Time: 4-9pm
Location: 1229 10th Ave E, Seattle, WA 98102 - at our temporary Drop-In Center

Youth Pride Sleepover - Saturday, June 27th
Our annual tradition is returning from 9pm on Saturday, June 27th to 8:30am on Sunday, June 28th. Youth must apply to join, and the following conditions apply:
Youth must have sufficient program participation history that staff have an understanding of and confidence in their ability to follow all Lambert House rules during the sleepover.
Youth must be in good disciplinary standing.
We have set a maximum of 20 youth ages 14-22.
This program fills up, so if you are not selected it is not necessarily because Lambert House has a concern about behavior.
Lambert House will provide snacks and soft drinks in the evening; youth are welcome to bring their own for themselves or to share. If you’d like dinner, come to our Youth Pride Drop-In program earlier in the evening. There will be a 1:5 Adult:Youth ratio for the sleepover. Youth who leave on their own after the sleepover begins may not be permitted to re-enter. Youth may, with adult permission and chaperoning, go on a walking field trip in the area.
Youth & Family Pride Brunch - Sunday, June 28th
Youth may invite parents, siblings, grandparents, or other adult guests to join Lambert House for brunch before the Seattle Pride Parade.
Time: 8:30-9:30am
Location: 1229 10th Avenue East, Seattle, WA 98102 - at our temporary Drop-In Center
Parking: Street parking is free on Sundays, but will likely be very competitive. Please do not use the church parking lot as they need the space for their congregants. If you need an ADA parking space, please email brandon@lamberthouse.org no later than Thursday evening so it can be arranged with Saint Mark’s.
Cost: Suggested donation $20/per person.
This is great time to celebrate your LGBTQ+ child, and meet other queer families! All families are invited to join Lambert House in the Seattle Pride Parade after Brunch (see details below).
Pre-registering helps us plan food, however you may still come to brunch if you don’t pre-register.
Seattle Pride Parade - Sunday, June 28th (tentative details, will update when we get information from parade organizers)
Staging Location: 4th Avenue between Union St & University Street
Staging Time: 10:30 to 11 a.m.
Parade Start Time: 11 a.m.; our group’s anticipated marching time is shortly after 11 a.m. | Length: ~1.1 miles, Seattle Pride estimates it will take 45 minutes to get to the end of the parade route (in past years it has been a bit longer)
Ending Location: Seattle Center - Everyone is on their own when we reach Seattle Center. Youth should make arrangements to meet parents, get home, etc. as necessary. We will have a booth on the roof of Fisher Pavilion at Seattle Center, and youth are welcome to use that as a meet up point.
Appropriate Attire: As Lambert House is a youth organization serving youth as young as 10, we require all marchers with Lambert House to wear tops at least covering chests and bottoms covering from hips to about mid-thigh. Our aim is to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for youth across our age range.
Lambert House will have a pickup truck and a jeep that folks can get in and out of along the parade route if they need a break from walking.
We will plan to take the 49 King County Metro bus from Saint Mark’s after Youth and Family Pride Brunch, to 5th and Pine, about 3 blocks from our staging area. Youth and families may also meet Lambert House in the staging area, within the staging window noted above. Lambert House has black t-shirts with our logo on the front and back, and our vehicles will have Lambert House banners on them as well.
