Uniting local businesses to ensure every neighbor in Chelan and Manson feels safe, seen, and celebrated.

A Community Pledge for Inclusion

Creating a truly inclusive town takes all of us.

The Safe Space Initiative is a collaborative partnership between Chelan Pride and local venues in Chelan and Manson committed to standing with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

By taking our pledge, businesses and organizations agree to uphold a standard of safety, respect, and visibility.
