Rainbow Hop

PNA’s 13th Annual PhinneyWood Pride Rainbow Hop

Creating a more connected and inclusive community so that everyone belongs

The PNA has a rich 45+ year history of strengthening a sense of belonging in our community. Rainbow Hop was the first “official” neighborhood Pride event outside of downtown and Capitol Hill—and the first specifically created for kids and families—helping to expand the reach of Pride celebrations across Seattle.

The PNA’s Rainbow Hop celebrates finding oneself, encourages inclusivity and diversity in our community, and seeks to help individuals feel authentically seen, heard, and valued. We invite you to be a part of this gay, family-friendly, and multi-generational celebration!

Featured Events

PETS! by Melanie Godsey @ Taproot Theatre

9:30 – 10:30am

It’s a tail-wagging time at Pet School, where Biscuit the pup and all their furry and feathered friends learn to sit, stay, and help a human in need. When things get ruff for Biscuit’s best human friend, Corey, it’s time to fetch help. A once-close friendship has gone to the dogs, and the bus stop becomes a bullying zone. Using every paws-itively clever trick from Pet School, Biscuit will stop at nothing to help Corey and teach the other kids that being an upstander is the best trick of all.
