Found this bug today while camping on the Kitsap. Very tiny and couldn't get a good zoom with my iPhone. The closest thing I could think of was some sort of tailless whip scorpion, but didn't think their range extended this far. Anyone know?

Maybe a pseudoscorpion? http://www.insectidentification.org/insect-description.asp?identification=Pseudoscorpion Looks they can occur in WA state.

If it is a pseudoscorpion, that's very cool. How big was it?

Its body was about 1-2mm in length. Looked more like a speck that a. Ugh at first glance.
