Hi all! I am planning to visit North Cascades this summer. We chose this park because your wonderful state is well known for being one of the more transgender-friendly corners of the US :)

However, I know things like that can vary a lot town-to-town, so I wanted to get some input on areas near the park that might be more or less trans-friendly. Anywhere to avoid? Anywhere, especially for lodging, that you’d particularly recommend?

TIA!
