Hi fam! I'm in the phase of short-listing colleges, and Washington State is high on my geography preference. Any good word on private colleges there?
Sure, Washington State is indeed home to several impressive private colleges. Here are a few examples:

2. Whitman College: Located in Walla Walla, it provides great opportunities in the liberal arts and sciences. It's known for its high student engagement and tight-knit community.

4. Seattle University: A Jesuit university located in the heart of Seattle, offering a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs. It's known for its strong programs in business, nursing, and law.
