I got a B.S. in Civil Engineering this may in PA and started a job here in Tacoma a week later. So it's possible with only a Bachelors, and tech is big here especially near Seattle but that might have more competition for you moving from out of state.
I'd say give it a shot whatever you want to do

Do they like spooky experiences? I never thought about them one way or the other, but I had a very unusual experience at Sirens in Port Townsend last night. No I was not drinking. The food was so good though.

Yes, agreed. That comes directly from legislation passed the Progressive left Democratic party. This is a one party state and the Dem's are going to have a hay day the next couple of years passing these kind of laws.

You refused to blow at the station because it's automatic license suspension if you don't? The one at the station is the only one that's admissible in court. This whole situation seems a little fishy fishy.

Cops in WA can't even go after a stolen car, if the only crime is the car being stolen. WA has been going to shit espcially in the past 10years

I'm mainly wondering why a cop would claim no sobriety tests were given and why a cop would put no test given on the report.
As for the accident a accident report was filed but no accident happened. ( I just updated my post)

It really bothers me that this is such common advice for new grads. While this can be a good path for those with some experience, it's bad for new grads for a few reasons.
Going straight for a graduate degree without working means you won't have practical real world experiences to connect the concepts you learn to. This effectively leads to a all books smarts and no street smarts perspective.
Trying to land a job with a Masters degree and little to no professional work experience leads to being both over and under qualified at the same time. Employers will see you as under qualified for mid level roles because you don't have any work experience, and over qualified for every level roles. Plus if you do manage to get a mid level roles, you'll be behind your peers because you very likely haven't had the opportunity to learn any soft skills yet.
Edit: Skills you typically learn on the job versus in school include but are not limited to: stakeholder management, communication with non-technical audiences, negotiation skills, project management, strategic planning, technical troubleshooting, data visualization for business audiences, and written business communication.

Masters first if you want to be competitive. Most of the resumes I receive for tech here has Masters degree.

Might be a headache for OP, but it could literally save innocent citizen lives.

Maybe not every cop is out to murder, rob, rape, and/ or ruin the life of random innocent citizens, but the many that will do will have a harder time if the lawyer does the talking and the citizen excerizes their 5th A

I'm super perplexed by your interest in "Washington" generically, it's pretty well known for being a state that varies a ton. Seattle is quite different from Tacoma is different from Bellingham and wildly different from Spokane or Yakima, and the cities are all very different from the small towns which in turn vary drastically by region (coastal? In the mountains? Farm country?)
What is it that interests you about Washington? What are your goals? Do you want to live in a cool city with a big tech community while you're young and have a little money? Then I'd say go to Seattle. Do you want to try to get a job that's pretty stable and buy a house in a suburban environment? You could probably find work in the tri-cities.

Stay there. Get the masters. Things might return to a better place by the time you're done.
