Seattles LGBTQ Center

I had the best experience at Gay City. Charlie, Kathleen and the team were friendly, welcoming, and exceptional. The whole team helped me obtain the care I needed with urgency. I highly recommend it to anyone and I will definitely be back. Thank you!

Its been 4 weeks since Ive had testing done and still no results. Called after 2 weeks and was given some lame excuse due to pride & laboratory backup. Called again a week later and no answer, no followup after leaving a message. Absolutely not okay at all to make people wait this long for something so important. Go elsewhere if you can!

Will not return for the trauma they caused me. They do not care about you. I’ve had no follow up from a single staff member from this clinic about what I had to go through with them.

Very helpful, nice people. Especially because they help people doing hiv test and getting prep.

Its a wonderful place for any services youre there for. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about what they do. You definitely feel welcomed in this space and I would recommend everyone to choose this center for their testing needs and other community services! And would also encourage those who receive their free service to leave a donation if possible, as STI/HIV testing is free of charge and completely confidential :)

I have never been met with so much hostility and rudeness. I was going in to ask for information and asked to use the restroom since I have many health issues and one of the people at the front desk pointed us kindly to the restroom while the other one said absolutely no public restroom and turned us away from any aid or help. Made it a very horrible experience in wanting to learn more and find aid resources needed as an LGBTQ+ person.

Terrible service. I made an appointment online for testing. When I arrived at the testing location at Steam Works Baths, a staff member said my name wasnt given to them so I would have to pay for entry. I have absolutely no intention to use their services. I just wanted to get tested and I did not want anything else. It seems like a HIPAA violation to give my name to some staff member at a gay bath/sex place. The testing person should be there to greet you. This situation seems like a setup to get you to buy services. All in all, I would not recommend Gay City. It is better to go somewhere official and professional.

I love LGBTQ I support them and I am lesbian I never dated a lesbian or Transgender before so it’s Awesome love you LGBTQ

We visited the center while we were in town. The staff was wonderful and provided a very informed tour of the facility. The services they provide are amazing. While we visited there were several individuals participating proudly in current projects. It was heartwarning to see these kids feeling happy in a safe environment and creating their art.

My testing experience at Gay City was entirely problem free. My tester, Luis, was extremely pleasant, easy, knowledgeable, and comforting. I had never been tested before this visit and I was afraid that I would be chastised for that, but Luis didn’t show the slightest amount of judgment. Rather, he was gracious and encouraging and thanked me for coming in. He clearly understood that I was nervous, as I imagine most are their first time, and took the time to clearly and throughly explain exactly what he was doing step by step without my even having asked him. I’ve never been more comfortable in a medical situation in my life and I am very grateful to have had my first HIV/STI testing here with Luis. Plus, I had a great time browsing the LGBTQ library in the front lobby once I was done with testing!! Definitely would recommend a visit to Gay City whether you’re looking to get tested, browse some queer books, or just be in a place where you can sense your community’s presence. Thank you!

Review updated 2/15/22; Gay City is a great, Seattle based, LGBTQ friendly establishment. I previously visited Gay City and had a less than ideal experience, however the staff were wonderful about following up and acknowledging my concerns. Happy to support a fantastic organization such as this that does such great work for the Seattle LGBTQ community

The experience is always so easy. The employees are helpful and informative. The atmosphere is professional and comfortable and its clear that they care heavily about keeping the LGBT+ community healthy and safe

An organization that provides much need free STI/HIV testing to men? It does exist. All the volunteers I have come across are very friendly and trained well in discretion and privacy of the client.

I have had the best experience at Gay City, mainly because Alyssa was such an awesome person. She is caring and respects everyone, no matter what your gender, ethnicity, etc. She bends over backwards in making my volunteer experience a positive one!

The staff is super kind, non-judgmental, and professional. They always create a comfortable and supportive space.

I was threatened and bullied by the staff. This is a clique of horrible people collecting paychecks at the expense of the gay community in Seattle.The response below is disingenuous, it was made a full year after my review. It is there to lend cover for awful behavior.

No hangups whatsoever. Came in for a routine HIV and STI screen and came back a month later to get on PrEP. The process was simple and straightforward.

Great place to go and hang out where you can be yourself! Get information on whats going on in the city and answers as to what that is. Come on in and meet great people!

While in town visiting I attended a theater production held at the site and the staff was kind and it seems like a great resource within the community.

Warning - the Gay City appointment system is horrible. I made an appointment for 6pm, got a text reminder that my appointment was at 6pm, when I showed up at 5:55pm was told I have to reschedule because I wasnt there 15 minutes before my appointment time.

Ive been going here for routine testing for almost five years and Ive never had a bad experience.

So I will say, the staff is amazing, and the center is nice. The Clinic is an amazing resource.

What a joke, they provide absolutely nothing but a headache! No support groups anywhere???👎

Amazing staff, safe space, and great resources!!!

Excellent customer service. Nonjudgmental. Caring. Thanks!

Neat interesting place :]

I felt very forced into acting differently than myself.

Very friendly staff!
