How many colleges and universities does Washington state have?

There's no single, definitive answer to how many colleges and universities are in Washington state. The number depends on how you define "college" and "university," and whether you include community colleges, technical colleges, and smaller institutions.

The Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges lists many community and technical colleges. Additionally, there are numerous private colleges and universities. A precise count would require a comprehensive survey and would likely vary based on the criteria used. Therefore, you won't find a single, universally agreed-upon number.
