Seattle Gay News – еженедельная газета, ориентированная на ЛГБТ-сообщество в Сиэтле и районе Пьюджет-Саунд в штате Вашингтон. Она была основана в 1974 году Джимом Талли и Джимом Арнольдом. По состоянию на 2023 год SGN распространялась во всех библиотеках библиотечной системы округа Кинг, Сиэтлской публичной библиотеки и библиотечной системы округа Пирс, а также примерно в 115 других местах в Сиэтле, Такоме, Беллингеме, Спокане и Оушен-Шорсе. Бывший редактор Джордж Бакан был активистом ЛГБТК+ в Сиэтле и возглавлял SGN с 1984 года до своей смерти в 2020 году. Архивные материалы SGN хранятся в Государственном историческом музее Вашингтона в Такоме. В настоящее время SGN архивируется в Йельском университете (Библиотека редких книг и рукописей Бейнеке), Университете Вашингтона (Библиотека Суззало) в Сиэтле, Сиэтлской публичной библиотеке (Центральная библиотека) и Национальном музее, архиве и библиотеке Стоунволла в Форт-Лодердейле, штат Флорида.

В 2021 году сотрудники газеты начали реструктуризацию, чтобы повысить ее разнообразие и инклюзивность. В том же году SGN запустила подкаст в рамках этой реструктуризации. В 2023 году издание было продано Stratus Group LLC, принадлежащей Майку Шульцу. Он перешел на двухнедельную печатную публикацию, увеличил тираж и расширил сеть физического распространения по всему штату Вашингтон. Он также переориентировал издание на более эффективную онлайн-доставку контента, реструктурировав систему управления контентом веб-сайта и создав онлайн-архив SGN по адресу https://issuu.com/sgn.org.
