The fourth image confirmed Trixagus. Of the species in your area, this is the most common with complete prosternal striae. T. chevrolati has been recorded in the vicinity but that species seems a lot less common in the PNW.
The specimen is a female, so the characters of the elytral setae that help ID the males are not present, unfortunately.

can't appreciate metasternal groove
Try and reposition the left, middle leg for starters, and re-shoot the venter. Thanks.
