Western, Eastern and Central Washington universities, and The Evergreen State College, all made two-year tuition decisions last summer after the Legislature decided to put tuition increases of up to 16 percent into the state's two-year budget. People celebrated last month when the Legislature said it wouldn't have to make college any more expensive in Washington state — but many forgot lawmakers already had put plans in place for a double-digit tuition increase next school year. Washington State University's board of regents posted a timely reminder Friday, when it voted to raise tuition 16 percent for the second year in a row.
