Photographer David Welton captured the color, joy and community spirit of Pride celebrations in Coupeville and Langley over the past two weekends. The events included parades that attracted a cast of characters, from pirates and mermaids to butterflies and unicorns. Alongside the festivities, speakers shared personal stories that highlighted both the challenges facing LGBTQ+ people and the importance of support and inclusion. A similar event took place in Oak Harbor earlier this month.
