Keep in mind that UW-Seattle’s engineering/CS programs have long been known for being among the top 10-15 in those fields…and perceived among many hardcore engineering/CS employers for having stronger engineering/CS programs than many private colleges…including most of the Ivies.
When friends/relatives who did/do hiring for their respective hardcore engineering/CS firms, 99/100 they’d take a UW-Seattle, UIUC, Georgia Tech, or UMich grad OVER most* Ivy engineering/CS grads unless the latter is overwhelmingly stronger in demonstrated technical chops and working/internship experience.
This attitude is more pronounced among older employers/technical hiring managers like an uncle who was himself an Ivy engineering graduate(Columbia SEAS late '50s).
- Exceptions are Princeton, Cornell, and Columbia whose engineering programs are comparable to the named public colleges
