As someone who works in LA right now, I’d go to UW. California has sooooo many state schools (and privates as well), that Irvine just isn’t top tier in this state. However, UW seems to clearly be the best school in Washington. So while it’s a bit of a wierd way to compare, a UC Irvine grad is seen as lesser than someone who went to UCLA, UCB, USC, Stanford, while a UW grad is seen as someone who went to a very good school elsewhere, and would probably be seen as more comparable to UCLA than UCI would be.
