My friend is in south Kitsap sd (port orchard) schools and says they haven’t passed a bond in years the schools are overcrowded, the teachers are overwhelmed and there is a major lack of resources/opportunities. She is often frustrated with the ‘trumpism’ among her children’s peers so if you are looking through the lens of lgbtq+biracial, you may be frustrated as well or often put in a position to advocate for yourself.

I was going to suggest that too. Spokane (great suggestion TriscuitBob!)

Vancouver, where I live, but housing is also getting real expensive due to demand and low inventory. You have urban and suburban options as well as small towns on the outskirts of Clark County.

Olympia or Tumwater if you want to be close to Seattle (My son and his SO share a studio apt in Tumwater and I've always liked visiting Oly.)

Oregon: Eugene/Springfield, Salem, Corvallis, Medford. Or a couple of Portland Suburbs I like as long as you work close by is Beaverton, Hillsboro, Tigard, or Tualatin.

We love Port Orchard—little town that feels much more authentic than (for example) Gig Harbor, Silverdale, or Poulsbo. Feels safe here, schools are supposed to be really good. Foot ferry to Bremerton (which does NOT feel very safe to me!), which has better restaurants and maybe more to do, depending on what you like. I’d raise a family here!
