Why is the UW ranked so high internationally but low nationally?

I think “international list” means world university rankings such as QS, THE and ARWU while domestic one is college rankings like USNWR. ROUGHLY speaking, international list is rankings of graduate (and professional) school (heavily dependent on research factors), whereas domestic one is for UG measuring quality of UG education.

Most of the state flagship universities show the similar ranking structure as UW; higher GR rankings than UG ones.
