Shelley Brothers passed away earlier this month at 67.

You may know her as co-owner of the Wildrose, Seattle's oldest and only remaining lesbian bar.

She also served as Grand Marshal of Seattle’s Pride parade, supported local LGBTQA+ businesses, and was highly engaged in Seattle’s civic life. 

To many, Shelly was a pillar in Seattle’s queer community.

We'll talk about her legacy with her good friend and business partner Martha Manning and with Seattle Gay News.
