We visited the famous Hoh Rainforest during that brief part of the summer when it's not drenched in torrential rain. In fact, it hadn't rained for awhile and the ground was mostly dry, so I was extra happy to discover this salamander under a log. I'll bet visiting any other time of the year would reveal many more salamanders, but be much less pleasant.

I originally identified this salamander as Van Dyke's Salamander, Plethodon vandykei. Thanks to Joshua Puhn for pointing out my mistake. The two species are very difficult to tell apart from a photo or two, but due to the location where this was found, the time of year, the relative abundance of the two species, and the number of costal grooves, it seems very likely to be Plethodon vehiculum.
