OK, thanks. Here's the underside of it. Do you know if they are native to Eastern Washington state? This turtle was found here in town.

That looks more like a western painted turtle and it is native to the northwest.

Don't know but it's certainly a good looking one.

Yes, they are native to eastern WA. The four sub-species of Chrysemys picta is the only turtle that convers almost the entire US in its native distribution. At least one of the sub-species is found in all contiguous states, except California and Nevada.

Looks to be a female painted turtle, and a good size one.
