Not sure what I'm going to do when this hits my state. We passed our "child only" bill last year. I don't live near a border and my job is strict in-person only.
I technically have the resources to move and have at least some job prospects, but there's huge swaths of my community that don't. Also, effectively outlawing trans existence in a state guarantees that no one will be left to vote for it, effectively pushing more states red. We can't even rely on the Supreme Court to strike these down...
I've heard Minnesota is good, but that's extremely far from me, and I have moderate-severe SAD so I worry that living that far north would be the end of me. Maybe I'll have to go for "might be the end of me" over "will currently be the end of me".
There are several options on the west coast and southwest that won’t worsen your SAD. Yes, cost of living is high… but that’s because they are good places to live. You may not be able to afford a nice big house like you’d find in Minnesota, but you’d have a trade-off in weather and surroundings.
If anycritter swings by Oklahoma on their way... 👍
Kinda feeling like I'm done even talking about this crap. Oh, lookie, they said it was about the children but it turns out it's just cruel, evil shit! Just like everything else those hateful trash do! Nothing new. No options, no hope. Nothing new there either. tries to bite a hole in this shitty, awful reality to escape through

I wish I had advice. There's some videos from this YouTube channel that I could try to find a out bugging out but I can't remember the titles, just let me know and I'll try.
As a Minnesotan, I, at least, welcome you. :)
I've had occasional SAD struggles, also. While there are purpose marketed lighting for this, FWIW, I found an off the shelf plant grow light from amazon for a couple hours in the evening while I was otherwise doing computer work helped me.
Good luck!
Can confirm Washington State is great. Can also confirm that a lot of folks with SAD struggle here. It is grey a lot of the time, but we get less rain than people think. Vancouver isn't the best city in the state, but it is much further south than Seattle.
