I can help, hopefully:
here:
http://www.washington.edu (UW)
http://www.spu.edu/depts/hsc/ (Seattle Pacific University)
http://www.wsna.org/snas/wa/links/ (WA State Nurses Assoc)
http://washington.nursing-schools-programs.com/
http://southseattle.edu/calendar/calmain.htm (South Seattle University)
http://www.seattleu.edu (Seattle University)
Above is just a partial list that may point the person in the right direction--as you know, Seattle is a big place and I have not even covered the South Sound (Tacoma and Olympia). This person can always try my favorite standby website for finding nursing programs nationwide:

Good luck and happy hunting. I am a Seattle-area resident, too!

I also live in Seattle, but I think that SmilingBluEyes covered the bases in Seattle. There's Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, which is 30 minutes south of Seattle http://www.plu.edu/~nurs.
There are also several community colleges. There's Bellevue Community, across Lake Washington from Seattle.

Seattle itself has three community colleges within the city limits. Nursing is offered as well. http://seattlecolleges.com/dynamic.asp
There's Shoreline Community, just north of the city. http://www.shore.ctc.edu/shoreline/index.html
Also, the U of Washington was the first magnet hospital.
Hope this helps!

Shoreline Community College, my alma mater, has an incredible reputation. Shoreline graduates are well respected in the community.
