Seattle colleges and universities

A reader asked me to help her find a list of Seattle colleges and universities. Usually these types of lists are filled with intrusive ads for sketchy schools, so I made this list for my readers.
Seattle colleges and universities offer the opportunity to study in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. No matter what you are interested in learning, there is likely a Seattle area educational institution offering it.
Some of the schools listed here are a long commute from Seattle, but it may be worth it to you to travel a distance if a particular school looks interesting to you.
