Teen Gothic

My boyfriend and I are thinking of moving to Washington state but dipping our toes first and taking a vacation there beforehand. We're both Native so our culture and community are important to us plus we're goth so moving to an area that kind of embraces both is important to us. He's looking at Half Moon Bay but I'm still very unsure of things so I'd love some recommendations on the scene and state overall and what fun things to do. I'd also love to hear from fellow BIPOC on your experiences. Is racism really bad there? Have you only dealt with small instances of things happening or has it been an ongoing nightmare?
