This snake looks a lot like a gopher or rattlesnake, but I know those aren't in western Washington. It is thick, with a broad head. Does NOT resemble a garter snake in any way. This snake was probably about 18 inches long and hiding in the rocks at the side of the road.

Most definitely a Garter Snake, but there are 3 species in Washington and I can't see this one well enough to say which one it is.
looks like a rat snake
i cant really see it the shading from the egg carten is making it blend in
that looks really cool where your you when you found that? I like the lines on it it looks kinda like a rattle snake beacause i know what a rattle snake looks liike cause i had a bunch in my garden when i lived in the grountry there was a lot of rattle snaks.
