I mean, UW is a fantastic school for computer engineering, so it's certainly not a terrible idea. That said, state schools with out of state tuition can be very pricey. With an undergrad in computer engineering you have a solid shot at finding a good job here even without a masters, so if I were you I'd try to do that, put money in savings, and then if you still want to get your masters try to do it at UW in a couple years after you've got some savings to live on and you qualify for in-state tuition.

Or get a research or teaching assistantship.

That's probably way less financially rewarding, but it could help!

The upside of assistantships is you are on campus, you get to be more immersed in your program and most likely get your degree in less time.
