What is the cheapest PA school in Washington?
A tuition quote and a regional clinical-travel budget answer different questions. Northwest publishes a full-program tuition total, while MEDEX warns that its displayed tuition is expected to increase for the June 2027 entering class.
These are verified published cost entries, not a definitive statewide cheapest-school ranking. Coverage, rate years and included charges vary. Fees, housing, insurance and clinical travel can change the final comparison.

Planning for PA school in Washington
Choose the campus as well as the sponsor
MEDEX lists Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma in Washington. Confirm the campus selection process and rotation geography; these locations should not be treated as three independently accredited programs.
Read the travel assumptions
Northwest’s published budget distinguishes didactic living costs from clinical travel and temporary housing. MEDEX separately budgets rotation travel. Compare those assumptions with your own lease and transportation plans.
How many Washington PA programs are represented here?
The ARC-PA roster lists two Washington sponsors: Northwest University and the University of Washington. This page groups MEDEX’s three Washington campuses in one entry to avoid implying separate accreditations.
Is MEDEX currently accredited?
The current ARC-PA roster lists the University of Washington MEDEX sponsor as Probation, with a focused visit. Probation is an accreditation status; review the official action history and program response before applying.
Sources you can check
Accreditation and state placement use the current ARC-PA roster, with program sites for campus details. Each cost card links to its university source. “Verified” means the displayed amount and scope were located in an official source on the review date; it does not mean the rate applies to every future entering class.
Tuition-only and tuition-plus-fees totals stay separate. Annual and per-term figures are not treated as full-program totals. Calculated estimates are labelled and excluded from full-program sorts. “Not verified” means a reliable comparable amount was not established, not that a program is free.
Continued, Provisional and Probation are accreditation statuses; applicant programs are not yet accredited. “F” identifies a focused visit. Program-specific cost and accreditation details here reflect this state review; the national directory and paid comparison dataset retain their separately dated snapshots.
