Advocating for and Serving Greater Renton’s LGBTQIA+ Community
Founded in 2019, the Renton LGBTQIA+ Community is building a strong inclusive sense of belonging, empowering members to promote positive change in our communities, combating prejudice and discrimination, and providing support for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and similarly-identified people.
If you’d like to get involved, send us an email at rentonlgbt@gmail.com, subscribe to our email list, or join our Facebook group.
Need a notary? Updating your voter registration after a move? Ready to register your pet, or update your name and gender marker?
We’ve got you covered. The Renton LGBTQIA+ Town Center is our community’s one-stop shop for support with everyday forms and big life changes. Volunteers will be on hand to help you understand, complete, and submit paperwork of all kinds—from voter registration to name changes, we’re here to help you take care of the details, any way we can.
Bringing family? We’ll have a coloring area for kids, access to the children’s reading section, and a view of the nearby playground from the event space. Interpreter services are available with advance notice—please email us at rentonlgbt@gmail.com if you need language support.
Craft lovers rejoice! Cozy Crafts returns for a chill evening of creativity and community. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or just looking to unwind, this is the perfect space to connect and make something special together.
Meeting on the third Saturday of each month from 3:00–4:30pm, the Renton LGBTQ+ Youth Group is a free and welcoming social space for youth ages 11–22. Open to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth, this group is a great way to make friends and build support.
Parent/guardian permission is required for ages 12 and under. Please email kcgroups@lamberthouse.org to register and get more details before attending.
