Marley Rall, founder of The Brewmaster's Taproom, says the kid and dog-friendly taproom has been serving Renton for seven and a half years, often holding events to build community and fundraise for causes supporting children and animals. Over the past year and a half, a Drag Queen Story Hour event has also become a monthly staple.  "I'm, in general, a huge fan of drag," Rall said. "I'm jealous of the amount of confidence they exude and I also understand a lot of what happens comes from pain and for me it's important that we build a very inclusive space for everybody and for everybody to feel they can be their true authentic self and so a big thing for me with the LGBTQIA community is that I want them to know we're an ally and we're trying in all different ways to be that and one thing I really feel hinders people is when they live and are raised in a very closed situation." Rall says she grew up in Hawaii where she was exposed to diverse cultures and grew comfortable around all different types of people. "The more kids interact and have good, positive interactions with people who may be considered different than them, and that they don't get to see on a day-to-day basis, they have the opportunity," Rall said. "It's good to get to know other people, and there's nothing scary about it. And so that was the big push for me as far as Story Time goes- we want people to know it's okay to be different, and we can be supportive and inclusive and be comfortable with that."
