Permanent resident status doesn’t matter, what matters for WUE is the fact Washington considers you a resident. Since you’re a resident for tuition purpose 1° all in state universities should be on your list 2° you can apply to WUE and have the same benefits as any WA resident. That gives you a decent list of universities within budget.
You could add UBC and Simon Fraser since they basically won’t care much about your ECs or LORs.
