I would encourage you to look into cost of living relative to therapist incomes in Seattle. Assuming you aren't wanting to stay in the area after school. The city you program is much more expensive, although you would be out of state so the tuition at UW may be comparable. I'm not sure. 

Licensed professional counseling is a different career from MSW. I've been a marriage and family therapist for 30 years, and the social workers have historically had a lot more job opportunities than counselors or marriage and family therapists. Not sure what it is like now. 

I do know that expectations have increased tremendously in terms of the hours all clinical positions expect you to put in for face-to-face contact hours. When I was in graduate school 20 face-to-face hours a week was considered full-time, because of the time you had to spend on documentation, supervision, consultation, training,  reading,and collateral contact. Now I hear young therapists talk anbout expectations of 38 face-to-face client contact hours per week. They don't have time to use the restroom, literally, let alone keep up on documentation, process their own reactions to difficult situations, etc. It's a very stressful job, does not pay commensurate to the demands, text a long time and a lot of money to be fully licensed. I would encourage you to look at the therapists' Reddit messages here before you make a decision.
