KUOW NEWS AND INFORMATION
About this episode

The Lambert House in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood is a place where LGBTQ youth can find community, belonging, and support. It's been around for more than thirty years, but it shut down at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

During that time, it found a new life online, and was able to reach more youth than ever before. RadioActive's Ada Walther takes us into the Lambert House and introduces us to someone who found a home there.
