Washington is a great school; certainly UIUC and FL are equals but I wouldn’t say would be worth the likely higher cost. It is tough to get aid of any kind at OOS publics. Sounds like you’d prefer to go out of state but moving down to campus will be fun in its own right. I’d seriously think hard about staying in Washington. BTW - I’ve lived in Seattle or the Midwest all my life. I’d rather live in Seattle.
