IN A FLASH: Rainbows Shine Bright In Kent

Ken Ditlevson, director of Â鶹ÊÓƵ's LGBTQ+ Center, was one of the volunteers adding rainbows to both sides of the Main Street Bridge in downtown Kent.

Volunteers decorated Kent's Main Street Bridge on Monday in preparation for Kent's Rainbow Weekend on Oct. 13-14. The rainbows downtown also celebrate National Coming Out Day on Oct. 11.

One of the highlights of the Rainbow Weekend's is the eighth annual Rainbow Run presented by Â鶹ÊÓƵ's LGBTQ+ Center. This 5K helps raise money to replenish Â鶹ÊÓƵ's LGBTQ+ Emergency Fund, which supports Â鶹ÊÓƵ LGBTQ+ students in crisis.
