About the Resource Guide

There have been some changes in the way we format the guide and we wanted to call them to your attention. Due to the cost to compile and produce this guide we have decided to charge for our text listings, the exceptions are our non-profit, service and programming partners. If you would like to see your business added to the guide please contact the Rainbow Center for pricing options.

This is the second 2011-2013 printing and we will continue to print updated versions as needed. Approximately 5000 paper copies of this Guide to LGBTQ-Friendly Businesses and Resources will be distributed in the next two years; in addition it is featured on our website which receives upwards of 100,000 hits per month. Please contact the Rainbow Center at 253-383-2318 or info@rainbowcntr.org for more information.
