A resource that shows how friendly/unfriendly US State laws are to trans ppl. Split into two maps, one for adults and one for minors.

Buy a Subaru. Never use an umbrella. Become a coffee snob.

In all seriousness, the west coast is a beautiful place, so the best thing you can do is get some good gear and a pass and go out hiking, biking, and generally explore all over.

Sadly a lot of are cities aren’t as walkable as the ones in Europe, but Seattle and Portland have a decent transit system at least.

Hah. I was at the liquor store a couple of days ago and overheard a conversation between some of the employees and a couple of customers. The employees were telling them that we don't use umbrellas, only the tourists do. So true. Well, and some of the transplants from other states. They stick out like a sore thumb.

Also, I have a Subaru.
