Tacoma, Washington
Tacoma's LGBTQ+ community center and a Tacoma Pride producing partner
The Rainbow Center is Tacoma's LGBTQ+ community hub, on Pacific Avenue downtown. It runs education, advocacy, and referral services, keeps a lending library and open community hours, and is a producing partner of the Tacoma Pride Festival. More resource center than tourist stop, but it's the heart of the local queer community.
