I'm familiar with the tale of Stanley supposedly heading to Washington to attend classes, but what I have not come across anywhere is a reason why she is supposed to have done this.

Is she supposed to have known someone there? If not, why Washington state?

Have you read the entire thread? I think you might find the answer to you question there...

“Why’s” can only happen to real people with feelings, motives, plans, goals, fears, etc. If something didn’t actually happen, the actors in the story can’t have real motives, etc.

So, if Stanley Ann did go to college in WA, the only reason I could think of is because she lived in WA.
