I'm pretty sure there has been a leucistic house finch at Marymoor Park in
Redmond. Maybe that's your bird?

Michael Hobbs does an online report from the Thursday morning walks at
Marymoor Park. Here's the link. If you scroll down to the report for
November 29, there is a photo of the leucistic house finch (by Lillian
Reis). It's the last photo.

Hope this helps.
