Washington families can save with confidence with GET
State-backed GET Prepaid 529 can be used for nearly any post-high school education or training

Olympia—Washington’s popular Guaranteed Education Tuition (GET) program opens Friday, November 1 for a new enrollment period, providing families a fresh opportunity to start saving for future education and career training costswhile their children are young. The 2024-2025 enrollment period runs through May 31, 2025, and provides a unique opportunity to prepay future education costs by locking in today’s rates. The unit purchase price for the new enrollment period is $123.76.
GET is a 529 prepaid tuition program, carrying a state-backed guarantee that units purchased today will always keep pace with in-state college tuition costs. “GET savers can literally buy tomorrow’s education at today’s price, whether they plan to use those funds five, 10, or even 18 years from now,” says Washington College Savings Plans director, Luke Minor.
Savers can open a new GET account with as little as $25, making it easy to start saving. Savings in a GET account grow tax-free and are not subject to the ups and downs of financial markets, so families can save with confidence.
Washington residents who want to help a student save for future education costs can open a GET or DreamAhead account online at 529.wa.gov with no enrollment fee. The website also offers details, charts, planning tools, and answers to questions. The GET contact center is ready to help at 800-955-2318 or GETInfo@wsac.wa.gov. For questions about DreamAhead, the DreamAhead contact center can be reached at 844-529-5845.

Harlequin Productions - Rent
2026-02-01
Harlequin Productions introduces – Rent
Set in the East Village of New York City, during the previous pandemic, Rent is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Based loosely on Puccini’s La Boheme, Jonathan Larson’s play follows a year in the life of a group of young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York’s Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent has become a pop cultural phenomenon, with songs that rock and a story that shaped a generation of audiences and taught us all to measure our life in love.
