| Vancouver, Washington, is the second-largest city in the metro area and the seat of Clark County, located just across the Columbia River from Portland. Its proximity to Portland influences its character, but being in Washington means it operates under different state laws.

| For transgender residents, Washington state law provides strong, explicit non-discrimination protections covering gender identity and expression in employment, housing, public accommodations, credit, and insurance. Washington also mandates insurance coverage for medically necessary gender-affirming care in state-regulated plans. The state allows for updating gender markers on identification documents. While local resources may be less concentrated than in Portland, the strong state-level legal protections and access to regional support networks make it a positive environment for trans people.
