Forbes has made a list of the best colleges in each state, Whitman gets the nod for Washington State: http://www.forbes.com/sites/carolinehoward/2016/02/22/the-best-college-in-every-state/#241db43323c0
No surprise to those of us who know the school!
It’s such a goofy list though. I know the school, but comparing it to UW is like comparing a gold medal fencer with a gold medal sprinter. They’re both successful Olympic athletes and that’s about where the similarities end.
