At the October 2025 meeting in Spokane, Washington, the Washington State LGBTQ Commission voted on meeting dates and general locations for the 2026 year. These locations were selected based on geographic locations we have not been or have not been to in several years. Commission staff are working to establish meeting locations and specifics.

We are looking to collaborate with 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations and groups in the regions we are meeting! Please reach out to contact@lgbtq.wa.gov if your organization is interested in learning about partnering with us.
