In-State residency...?

Hello everyone.

So, I live in AZ, and though I’m applying to several selective LACs and universities, I’m keeping my state school as a back up.

Yet, in all honesty, I HATE AZ…I don’t like the community, nor the town, and though some people like having completely clear skies and intense sunlight about 85% of the year, I don’t; I actually find it boring. Haha, I miss seasons. I really don’t want to go to U of A…

However, my dad has recently moved up to Washington to live with his partner. I visited U of W last fall when I was visiting my dad. I would much rather go to U of W for a back up state school than U of A. Obviously, admission at state universities is slightly easier if in-state. Could I technically apply to U of W using my dad’s Washington address and be counted as in-state, even though my transcript would be coming from a college prep school in AZ?
