Pride in Kenmore: Pride flag raising at city hall
Mon, June 1 at 9:00 am to 10:00 am PDT
Join us at 9:00 am on Monday, June 1, 2026, for the annual Pride Flag Raising at Kenmore City Hall. Hear remarks from our elected officials and take your turn to crank the flag high into the sky!
This event is sponsored by the DEIA Committee in the City of Kenmore.
The Pride Flag
The original Pride Flag was created in 1978 after activist Harvey Milk asked artist Gilbert Baker to design a symbol of gay pride. Each color represents a different part of the LGBTQ+ community:
- Hot pink represents sex.
- Red symbolizes life.
- Orange stands for healing.
- Yellow equals sunlight.
- Green stands for nature.
- Turquoise symbolizes magic and art.
- Indigo represents serenity.
- Violet symbolizes the spirit of LGBTQ+ people.
After the assassination of Harvey Milk on November 27, 1978, the rainbow flag was in high demand. Due to manufacturing issues, the hot pink stripe was removed. The turquoise stripe was removed from the flag as a design choice from Baker.

Church of the Redeemer
Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world around us. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.
Church of the Redeemer is at 6220 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. The campus is a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.
The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
