Before Alaska, Washington was the last frontier - the farthest-flung place from where the United States started, practically the end of the world. And in a location so geographically remote, it should be no surprise that eccentricity, can-do DIY spirit, and independence would be as natural as the forests, rivers, and sea that define Washington's landscape. The higher education landscape is just as varied and just as dynamic. In the last generation, Washington has become best known as a center of technology and commerce, and to keep the pace, Washington's colleges and universities have become global leaders in areas like business and management, computer science, and social science, shaping Washington's future by shaping its students. In the University of Washington, the state has one of the nation's most acclaimed public research institutions, while its array of top-tier private institution includes some of the best-known Catholic universities - Gonzaga and Seattle University - and some of the most experimental and progressive schools in the US, like The Evergreen State University.
As Managing Editor Carrie Sealey-Morris explains, "Washington's people drive higher education in Washington," and as Washington's star has risen in the digital age, so have Washington's demographic shifts required significant changes in the way the state does education. Not only is Washington "well on its way to becoming one of the most diverse states in the union, with a large Hispanic population and growing Asian demographic," but the state is also experiencing a denser, more urban population than ever before. The reason why is simple: people are "drawn to Washington's booming economy, which in turn is driven by the tech and energy industries, as well as retail, including Amazon, Microsoft, and many entrepreneurial start-ups." But those changes have impacts on government, healthcare, non-profits, education, and every other aspect of social life. The best colleges and universities in Washington "are designed to reflect the best of Washington's culture and society, and they grow to meet the needs of Washington's people as the world around them changes."
