800K Washingtonians must restart student loan payments this month

EVERETT — Kira Violette went to Cornish College of the Arts to pursue her passion of graphic design. She now works at Everett Community College as a graphic designer.

She said she has always spent a lot of time drawing and thought being able to design clothes, album covers, posters and more was a perfect fit for her future.

After she graduated in 2019, she faced a $35,000 student loan bill.

Violette is grateful for her degree, but she isn’t looking forward to paying back her loans $400 a month at a time. She is one of more than 800,000 people statewide who will resume paying federal student loans this month after a three-year pause during the pandemic.
