Scene in Lynnwood Pride flag ceremony at City Hall

Lynnwood celebrated its first public Pride Flag raising ceremony outside city hall on Monday, a significant milestone for the community. Since 2021, the city has raised the flag in June to honor the LGBTQ+ community, but this year marked the first time the event was open to the public. Local officials, community members, and supporters gathered to express solidarity and support for LGBTQ+ rights. The ceremony underscores Lynnwood's commitment to fostering inclusivity and recognizing the importance of diversity. This initiative reflects broader social changes advocating for LGBTQ+ rights across the nation.

The city plans to continue this annual tradition, aiming to strengthen community bonds and promote awareness. The event is seen as a step forward in encouraging dialogue and acceptance within the community. As Lynnwood moves forward, it hopes to inspire other cities to embrace similar celebrations.
