"If you also applied to UW Bothell or UW Tacoma, you may receive more than one offer of admission from a University of Washington campus. However, you may accept only one offer of admission.
Please make your decision carefully. If you have confirmed enrollment at one UW campus by submitting the required forms or paying a confirmation fee, you will no longer be eligible to confirm enrollment at another campus. The UW Seattle NSEOF payment is not transferable or refundable to UW Bothell or UW Tacoma.
If you decide to enroll at a different campus, please withdraw your admission from the campus with whom you confirmed enrollment first, and then confirm enrollment with the new campus by submitting the fee to the second campus.

Does this mean that if I accepted Bothell’s admission offer, I wouldn’t be eligible to enroll at UW Seattle? Will they discard my application?
I seriously need you help guys International Student from Indonesia.
I don’t remember. Since I had a difficult choice in Indonesia, I decided to accept it when they offered me. If I hadn’t accepted Bothell’s, everything would be more difficult in Indonesia.
Why would you accept an offer before you've heard back from all of your colleges? Accepting an offer is like committing to go to school there. Did you put money down when you accepted?
There's no reason why you wouldn't be able to sort this out and enroll at UW-Seattle (provided you've been accepted). Pick up the phone and call or send someone at UW an email. You might have to jump through some self-imposed hoops, but I'm sure they'll help facilitate your switch.
Also, just reading what you’ve provided, it tells you what you need to do, unless you went further in the confirmation process.

@JuanitaRebel I was told to do so. Look, I was very new to this that time and I was not accustomed to US system. I did pay UWB’s registration fee but not the tuition fee.
Am I entangled in a difficult situation? Is there hope for me? I haven’t received any emails and my unofficial transcript page keeps displaying Bothell’s transcript.
I was completely unaware of that. Losing fee is not a problem for me. I just want to be admitted to UWS…
It’s not really about the US system, it’s just the way they do things at UW, although this policy seems a bit inflexible or restrictive. I think you can relax. I don’t think you’re in trouble on this.
It looks like all you have to do is withdraw from Bothell and give it enough time to let the “paperwork” clear, then accept the Seattle offer.
However, A prudent person would call Seattle to make sure that’s how it really works.
BTW, St. Paddy’s Day is only a big holiday in a few select locations.
You should be fine. The deadline to respond is May 1st, which is still pretty far away. You’ll be out the $300 deposit for Bothell, but that’s about it. It’s not unlike someone getting off the waitlist and choosing to enroll there instead of their original choice school–happens all the time.
With that said, I’d make sure you hear in the affirmative from UW-Seattle before turning down the Bothell offer. And yes, call or email to confirm. I’d actually prefer the latter because then you’d have a written notice of whatever their response is.
