Hi all, thank you so much for all of your responses and information! Here
is a quick update:

-everyone confirms the ID as a Great Gray Owl
-it was in my friend's backyard (on her sons's playground equipment! :-0
)at 8:30pm yesterday which is when the photo was taken (she just sent it to
me for my daughter to ID this AM)
-the owl has moved on and is no longer in their yard
-it seems that this is an unusual/rare time for this species to show up
here (echo lake, snohomish)
-I emailed Steve Pink who does county documentation (if I'm remembering
AnnMarie Wood's email correctly)
-my friend is willing to talk to someone if anything else is needed for
documentation.

They will keep an eye out in case it returns- I will post again if it shows
back up. Thank you again everyone!
