About us: Founded in 2022, Tri-Cities Pride is a collective of 2SLGBTQIA+ people in the Tri-Cities region working across multiple levels of change, from individual to institutional, to support the wellbeing of our communities. Tri-Cities Pride was born from years of Pride event organizing and in response to growing backlash and hate toward local 2SLGBTQIA+ community members. We center residents of the Tri-Cities and surrounding regions, especially those most impacted by harm, including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, and Two-Spirit, Transgender, Nonbinary, and Intersex community members.

Where We Are: We acknowledge the original inhabitants of this area, the Umatilla, Cayuse, and Walla Walla tribes. We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water. We will strive to be honest about our past mistakes and bring about a future that includes their people, stories, and voices to form a more just and equitable society.
