Northern Xposure Weekend – affectionately dubbed “NX ” by veteran attendees -- is a Seattle social and fundraising event that takes place each August. Produced by Rich Kaalaas of Rein Fire Ranch Productions, and the NX volunteers, it raises money for Lambert House, a resource center for LGBT youth. Various social gatherings – beach parties, dances, a boat cruise and other events – allow attendees to enjoy one of the most beautiful places in the country at a particularly beautiful time of year.

Since its inception in 2000, Northern Xposure Weekend has raised more than $100,000 for Lambert House. Because of this amazing effort by a generous group of friends, Lambert House has kept its doors open to the gay youth of today, helping to shape those who will be gay leaders tomorrow.

Begun primarily as a social gathering at Rein Fire Ranch, the weekend’s series of events has changed over the years, but its purpose – enjoying the company of friends while helping Lambert House – remains the same.
Retooled in 2004, NX took the form of a one-night collaborative effort with CastroBear Presents, and fabled DJ John LePage brought SWEAT to Seattle in a whole new way. The following year, taking it Off the Farm, and into the Big City, NX moved onto the calendar of Seattle-wide gay events, and again helped publicize the important work of Lambert House. A year later, under the Viking-themed banner of You Can't Pillage The Willing -- CastroBear Presents, BigMuscle.com, and others teamed with Rich and The NX Team to present the spinning talents of Kimberly S, Blaine Soileau, John LePage, and a returning performance of DJ Sam Andrews.

This year, NX celebrates it's 10 Year Anniversary, with NX DECADE. It will be a time to celebrate all the hard work that has brought us to this mile stone, and will set the tone for a weekend where anyone in or visiting Seattle can enjoy a great weekend of Socializing, Dancing, Food and Fun!

We hope to see you here.
