Only a handful of people showed up to enjoy the amenities most either lived in the area or had made the long trek through SoDo to cross the bridge over the Duwamish. One of the most popular designs, Webb said, was his own: a cartoon cactus with glasses in a flower pot labeled 'THEY/THEM.' The merch was designed by DAPS members and Queer artists funded by stipends from the organization's artist-in-residency program. There were soft drinks, snack foods with vegan options, stickers and pins for sale, and board games on every table. DAPS board chair and the SGN 'Seattle's Best' Award winner Oliver Webb ran the event in the community space next door to Queer-owned HeartBeet Organic Superfoods Café in West Seattle.
The Diversity Alliance of the Puget Sound (DAPS) held a gathering on Thursday last week, for this year's Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV).
