By Martín Bilbao Olympian A new study has identified the best value colleges in Washington state, with several Puget Sound campuses and a few from Eastern Washington on the list. SmartAsset, a company that offers financial advice, compiled the list using five metrics, including scholarships, median starting salary, tuition costs, living costs and student retention rates. University of Washington campuses in Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma rank the highest on the list, in that order. The Seattle campus had the highest median starting salary at $67,400 followed by the Bothell campus at $63,300.
