Public Community College in Lynnwood, WA. Six-year graduation rate 29%. Median 10-year earnings $48,144.

Academics
Only 29% finish within six years, so roughly three in four students leave without the credential. Transfer-out runs to 21% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. At 11:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a public four-year university, so read every rate on this page against that peer group specifically. With 6,028 undergraduates, the school sits in the middle of the size distribution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 3,354 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price is $13,804 a year after grant aid — low for a four-year institution, though your own figure depends on aid eligibility. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $9,133 while those at $110k+ pay $20,062. 41% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Only 6% take federal loans. Private borrowing is not captured in this figure.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $9,133 |
| $30–48k | $9,942 |
| $48–75k | $13,101 |
| $75–110k | $15,000 |
| $110k+ | $20,062 |
