Find a flying club with a CFII
Northwest Flying Clubs
Clubs are structured in different ways as far as money goes. You'll just have to find one that fits your situation, but they should be cheaper than renting or owning.

Since you're in Seattle, maybe you could try visiting the Boeing factory and asking them to teach you how to fly their 747's.

Your options are going to be limited but here are some suggestions (links) you may find helpful:
Military/Guard:
Navy: Aviation : Careers & Jobs: Navy.com
USAF: United States Air Force - AirForce.com
Army: Becoming an Army Helicopter Pilot
Coast Guard: Become A Coast Guard Pilot
Civil Air Patrol: Seattle Composite Squadron - Home
Whidbey Island Navy Flying Club: Whidbey Island Navy Flying Club
You may also want to search for potential grants and/or scholarship funds available at various academic institutions and flight schools throughout the state (or nation).
Looking for Information about Federal Grants or Scholarship for Your Education?
I would also recommend you thoroughly search the internet and try and establish a dialogue/network with pilots who have been able to successfully achieve the same outcome you desire.
Best of luck in your search.

Even the freedom that we all enjoy as Americans is not free. Think about that.
