... begins Fall quarter at the end of September. So with good paperwork (and a lot of luck), we "might" be able to get her residency established by the end of September.
I'm not counting on it...
... the change in tuition costs are substantial and just for the Fall quarter we'd be paying a few thousand less.

It's not that big of a deal on the timing, but if we can get it in, then the International student dept will accept any internet verification to at least allow for changing status for tuition purposes.
So I do not know what the notification process is (I would think she would need the green card in hand, but the school said no, she only needs the electronic notification once it is approved). If that's even correct, it might me a difference in weeks. But I understand your doubt and will be very happily surprised if we get her AOS card or otherwise by then.
Any suggestions on attaching photos? Do folks usually just use small paperclips or staple?

If you are one of the lucky ones who does not get called for an in-person interview, then yes, there will probably be an electronic verification of approval....at some point.

Yes, this is the way to do it. No staples!

Her new legal status for the "12 month" rule begins when she obtains her NOA1 hardcopy in the mail after the I-130/AOS package has been submitted.
Now, some states do allow one to pass on residency status for tuition purposes to their Spouse, but I am not sure if Washington is one of those states, this is something that you would need to research.
Visa Journey has some pretty good timelines of how long it is taking people to get their GC approval and it is averaging around 90-100 days from the day you mail off your package. You then figure another 7-14 days to receive the physical GC.
I received one RFE and my interview is on the 108th day since filing. So if you filed June 1st, you would be looking at August/September.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but for her to establish residency for in-state tuition she must first have lived in the State for a minimum of 12 months with a primary purpose for being there not being to study. This will be impossible for her to over-come since she is an international student whose only purpose in the State of Washington was to study.

Thanks for that timeline Leyther. BTW, I've been around schools a long time and worked with the gamut of residency issues in different locales and believe me when I say that rule is not 100% across all school systems. There are in fact community colleges that will provide "in state" tuition the moment you register (as a non alien) with proof of residency.
I would seriously do some research into Washington's Statute regarding this issue.
