Downtown Bellevue is kicking off Pride Month with one of the sweetest community events of the season, The Paws & Pride Dog Walk at Bellevue Downtown Park! Hosted by the Bellevue Downtown Association and Eastside Pride PNW, this welcoming event celebrates the LGBTQIA2S+ community while bringing people, pups, and local organizations together for a meaningful afternoon in the heart of downtown.
The walk is designed to be relaxed, inclusive, and community-focused. Whether you’re bringing your dog or simply showing up to support, everyone is welcome to join the non-competitive stroll through the park. Expect a joyful atmosphere filled with connection, celebration, and plenty of adorable four-legged friends along the way.
The event also shines a light on the incredible work being done by Eastside Pride PNW, whose mission centers around creating a world where everyone feels safe, valued, and like they truly belong. Proceeds from the event will benefit Seattle Humane and Youth Eastside Services, two organizations making a real difference throughout the Eastside community.
Seattle Humane continues to support pets and families through adoption services, veterinary care, pet food programs, and more, while Youth Eastside Services provides vital mental health counseling and substance use support for youth and families across East King County, regardless of their ability to pay.
It’s the kind of event that perfectly reflects what makes Bellevue feel so special. Community, inclusivity, and people coming together to support one another! Whether you’re attending for the dogs, the cause, or simply the positive energy, Paws & Pride is a beautiful way to celebrate Pride Month on the Eastside.
