This looks to me like the species of Nearctodesmus (Polydesmida: Nearctodesmidae) that occurs in northern coastal California; can't think of the species name now. The Nearctodesmidae occurs along the Pacific from the Queen Charlotte Is., BC, to San Francisco Bay, and it also occurs in eastern Washington, northern Idaho, western Montana, and adjacent border of BC.

I saw a similar millipede last year and never got an ID.



Maybe Polydesmidae.

 
Re: Looks familiar
Yes, that does look very similar! Hopefully someone will know what they are.
