I checked the location with distributions,
and
C. monstrosa
is indeed the one found there. Also, on second look, I think I goofed, I think it's actually a male nymph.

definitely a female
Hi David, this is definitely a female (and very likely an adult)
C. monstrosa
; male nymphs have larger wing pads - see photo #185731 uploaded by eileeneb of a male late instar nymph:

It's a female Hump-wing Cricket
(really closer to Katydids than true Crickets). I suspect it is
Cyphoderris monstrosa
, but I'm not certain of the species yet.

Cricket
It looks like you have hit the nail on the head (so to speak) - the internet search I made with your information looks like a match! Thanks much! Jim

looks similar to a Mormon cricket
Though I don't know if that's what it is. Yours appears to be male. Somebody else on here may know it more precisely.

I appreciate your comment. N
I appreciate your comment. Not knowing the range of this critter, I will do a little more research on it. I have some Mormon Cricket photos I took here in Utah so I'll also get back to them and compare - I never even gave it a thought because of it being in Washington. Thanks! Jim
Later: The range could be right according to my search. Mine lacks the extended ovipositor so you are no doubt correct in calling it a male. The older photos I have from here in Hurricane, UT are of a much longer-legged cricket so maybe I was wrong on it. They both have really long antennae though. Jim

something different
I think this is something other than Mormon cricket, but related. My memory is that somebody posted something like this from Montana, but I can't remember what it was exactly. Hopefully somebody nails it down better.
