We are highlighting the snake you are mostly likely to see in Washington - the garter snake.
The common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) is found throughout Washington from coastal and mountain forests to sagebrush deserts, usually close to water or wet meadows or your garden.
Garter snakes are harmless to humans and benefit home gardeners by eating certain pests. Small garter snakes eat earthworms and slugs, while larger snakes include amphibians, small rodents, nestling birds, and fish in their diet.
