I believe this is a northwestern garter snake (Thamnophis ordinoides) - They are the most variable in terms of color and markings, in large part because they're noted for that dorsal (center/top) stripe that can be white, absent or virtually any other color.

Dr. Bob Mason at OSU is an expert (but not in Extension) in case you'd like to verify further: https://masonlab.science.oregonstate.edu/

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you folks!

Happy to help!
