looking at the indistinct dark longitudinal stripes on the abdomen, the
lizard in question looks like a northern alligator lizard. Gerrhonotus
Coeruleus.

for the gentleman wondering why someone is asking about a lizard
here.....no, it certainly isn't a bird. A few weeks ago someone asked about terrestrial
vertebrates here in Seattle and since then there have been a few posts
regarding lizards and such. Its been interesting, fun and something of a
diversion from all the interesting bird posts. Just adds another element to all we
can see in the natural world if we sometimes look down.
