September 15 - October 15 is Latino/a/x Hispanic Heritage Month! In addition to celebrating the independence days of multiple Central American countries this month, we recognize and value the enormous impact that Latinx and Hispanic communities have made throughout history.

We encourage you to celebrate, engage with, and learn about Latinx and Hispanic culture at one of the many free events happening throughout King County 🦋
