    I'm thinking it's a ribbon snake. But species ID isn't my strong suit.

    This is a garter snake, I suppose this is a northwestern garter snake (Thamnophis ordinoides), which is highly variable in coloration, but if you google for it you will find several pictures showing snakes similar to yours.
    1,0 Lampropeltis triangulum campbelli, 1,2 Gonyosoma oxycephalum, 1,2 Philodryas baroni, 1,2 Spilotes pullatus, 2,1 Spilotes sulphureus, 0,1 Gonyosoma boulengeri, 1,1 Zamenis longissimus, 0,1 Malpolon sp., 1,1 Malpolon monspessulanus

    I second this, there’s no mistaking that line or the way the scales look.
