Need safety under Stanford

Ok, as everyone knows, Stanford is a crazy hard reach, and that’s also my first choice school. Now I’m looking for a match/safety that has the same general kind of environment. I’m undecided, but my major might be somewhere along the lines of engineering (industrial)… Stats aside (grades/test scores/ECs shouldn’t be a problem anywhere except the very top) where should I be looking for matches/safeties.

Someone has suggested Berkeley as a possible match. I also live in Washington, so University of Washington could probably be a safety, but it’s huge and I don’t really like it. Looking for a smaller private school setting… (well at least not 40k students!)
