🏛️ Your state's public flagship
University of Washington-Seattle Campus
The in-state tuition gap is the flagship's biggest draw — most in-state families pay far less than the out-of-state sticker. Average net price after aid runs about $14,091/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.
Source: IPEDS admissions, tuition & enrollment + College Scorecard net price. Flagship = the state's primary public research university.

If the recent trend holds…
At its recent rate of +22.1%/year, projecting from 2022's 40 students:
An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.
