Do I need to give notice during a probationary period?

I started a new position and have a 60 day probationary period. In my contract it states that I can be let go at the direction of my employer at any time with no notice during that period. It does not reference the same for that of me (the employee). Two clauses down, it states that I need to give 2 weeks notice if I plan to leave. Added to this, I work in WA state which is at-will employment, however my contract does not state this. Soooo… Do I need to give 3 week notice during a probation period? Is my position still at will even though my contract doesn’t explicitly state that given WA is at will? Money is great, I’m not cut out for the job, and plan to go back to school and live paycheck to paycheck again. Sigh.
