Garter Snake
this guy's coloring suggests that he (or she?) is probably a mixture of Valley Garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis fitchi) and Puget Sound Garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis pickeringii) He's got red spots and a reddish head like the fitchi subspecies, but blue-grey stripes like a pickeringii
