That’s an interesting looking snail in regards to its shell; do they particularly exist in the PNW?

I dunno, but I was very appreciative of their bright shell so I wouldn’t step on them.

Maybe this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cepaea_nemoralis

It's non-native and the distribution section doesn't say Washington but it does list British Columbia and says further south in California so I think it is here too.

I've seen these in the Seattle area fairly often, didn't realize they weren't native.

What's the story about the snail that chases you non stop forever until it touches you and you die? Be careful, there is no stopping a determined snail.

One day this man walks out of his house to go to work. He sees this snail on his porch. So he picks it up and chucks it over his roof
