Publisher Comments:

Winner of Washington State Book Award

Winner of Alpha Sigma Nu (ASN) Jesuit Book Award

Gay Seattle traces the evolution of Seattle's gay community from 1893, when the state first passed legislation making homosexuality a crime. Gary Atkins shows through a century of stories how gays and lesbians have sought to achieve a sense of belonging in Seattle.

"Atkins skillfully weaves national changes and developments into stories of local individuals and movements, making this a study of importance far beyond the borders of the Pacific Northwest...A fast-paced, informative, and entertaining read." -History: Reviews of New Books

"Gay Seattle tells the story of 20th-century Seattle in more compelling detail than any other book." -John Hartl, Special to The Seattle Times

Gary Atkins is associate professor of communication at Seattle University.
