In 2024, local nonprofit Lynnwood Pride hosted the city’s first large-scale Pride festival sponsored by the City of Lynnwood. The nonprofit organizers attempted to host a Pride event at the City Center light rail station last year, but it never took place. At a City Council meeting last summer, the organizers said the City didn’t opt to sponsor the event. They also said they encountered difficulties in applying for event permits, and criticized City staff for a lack of assistance with the event.
Further controversy arose last year when the City denied Lynnwood Pride’s request to hang a Pride flag at Wilcox Park. Lynnwood staff said the City’s flag code didn’t clearly state whether flags other than the American flag could be flown at City parks. However, the City did host a Pride flag-raising ceremony at City Hall last year.
