July 30th marked a turning point in the Seattle nightlife scene. A small electrical fire at Post Options, next door to Unicorn, has caused pain and heartache across our community. Thankfully, no one was injured, but the staff’s lives and livelihoods were suddenly put on hold.

The business is working to recover, but Unicorn remains closed as we restore the space. While the doors may be shut, the world continues to move forward, leaving so many without work. Drag artists, bartenders, security, kitchen staff, and management are all in limbo as the wait continues.

As a community, we are coming together to support those who’ve brought us endless joy, through pinball, that very specific crane game, countless nights of entertainment, and above all, a loving and wonderful staff.

Every dollar goes directly to supporting Unicorn’s incredible staff, our artists, bartenders, security, kitchen crew, and management—while they wait to return to the stage and the community they love. Thank you for helping us take care of them.
