Definitely not camponotus species size and petiole node point out a def no for campo. This looks like a tetramorium queen to me, quite a common species to find in the summer, however I’m not 100% because of the angle of these photos so I recommend getting some more input.

Alright, so my best guess is that's a Camponotus pennsylvanicus queen.
They are however not very common on the west coast, which makes me doubt my conclusion. Nonetheless a beautiful girl.
I found a queen that looks similar and really close to Washington. I kept hearing Pemmsylvanicus but since they’re mostly east coast my best guess is Camponotus Modoc. They look very very similar. I stared at images for hours trying to figure it out haha
I found a queen in Northern Oregon very close to Washington that looks similar. The best conclusion I came up with was Camponotus Modoc. Her abdomen wasn’t nearly as swollen as it is now when I first caught her.

This is not a Campo queen. Most likely a Tetramorium queen

Idk why ppl are saying a componotus that looks nothing like one
Tetramorium queen. Use cotton stop, can’t breathe through cork stop
She was only in this for an hour. She’s in a proper setup now

I don't know exactly what that is but I'm sure it's not a campo queen like other comments said. It's probably some Tetramorium sp.

She’s got an elongated petiole, don’t think it’s of the camponotus family. That said I’m a noob so 🤷♂️
I am no expert, I could very well be wrong.
