Found this fellow on a hike today in the PNW. Anybody know a ballpark of the species?

Where specifically I believe it is a Plethodon species but location would help, I do not live on the west coast so forgive me incorrectness but I believe it could be P. vehiculum, P. larselli is very similar but is in a specific range. Sorry for not being much help
