I agree with you, Joe, regarding the residency law.   My guess is that
the vehicle registration or driver license law NOR the sales tax law
tie payment of resident tuition to the requirement that they be licensed
in WA nor that they pay sales tax.  That would be the ONLY way that
these would be true, but stranger things have happened, maybe we should
check those out!
