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.

6th Annual Tales Told in Ten
2025-04-11 - 2025-04-12
Olympia Family Theater has there 6th Annual 24-hour play festival, TALES TOLD IN TEN!
April 11-12 at Olympia Family Theater in Downtown Olympia.

Olympia Family Theater Presents: TALES TOLD IN TEN!
OFT’s 6th Annual 24 hour play festival!
OFT’s 6th annual original one-act play festival, TALES TOLD IN TEN, is back this spring! Six playwrights, six directors, and a troupe of intergenerational community actors will come together to craft six brand-new 10-minute plays – all in just 24 hours in a feat of creativity and teamwork!
On Friday evening, writers receive a surprise theme prompt along with additional creative challenges designed to push their storytelling skills to the limit. They have overnight to craft their scripts, incorporating these unexpected elements. The next morning, directors and actors dive in, working together to bring the scripts to life in a single day of rehearsals. By Saturday night, the festival culminates in a high-energy, one-night-only performance—where anything can happen! Along the way, we’ll build community, tell new stories, embrace the artistic pressure cooker, and, of course, eat all the snacks.
